Health and Safety Training for Schools

The Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act 2005 places a legal duty on all schools to provide safety training to their staff and that is why Ark has developed an online solution to deliver Health and Safety Training for your school.

Health & Safety Training for Schools

Training is an ongoing legal requirement for Boards of Management and school leaders. However, there is a lack of sector-specific training leading to lower course engagement. Affording staff the time and headspace to carry out this necessary training is often the most difficult challenge.

The Ark Academy™ is designed to engage and educate school staff on essential topics such as GDPR, Cyber Security and Health & Safety. Ark specifically designed these courses for school staff, both in terms of context and content.
