Health & Safety Advice and Support for Schools

School leaders need specialist advice and support throughout the school year. Given the complexity of such legal matters as Health & Safety, access to timely expertise is not always available from Management Bodies or Supervisory Authorities.

Our Retained Advice & Support Service provides same-day advice and assistance to you on a 12-month rolling contract. You get access to expert advice and practical experience from your dedicated subject matter expert during normal business hours.

Certificate of Engagement

The Certificate of Engagement identifies Ark as your school’s named advisor for a specific domain i.e. Health & Safety. As a retained client, you also benefit from discount pricing on any ad-hoc work and training.

The Ark Support Line

The certificate of engagement guarantees our same-day availability to respond to your support request (Monday to Friday 9am – 5pm). This advice and support line is also available to your leadership team and post-holders where appropriate. 

the Ark Library

Don’t reinvent the wheel – with our retained advice and support line you’ll also get access to The Ark Library of resources. Each tested resource has been drafted carefully to fulfil a specific task, whilst saving you time and effort. 

Annual Staff Webinar

We’ll also hold an annual staff webinar to bring staff up to date with the latest developments in Health & Safety. Ark will also address any questions or concerns staff may have.
