Health and Safety
At Saint Kentigern, the Trust Board's dedication lies in fostering a workplace where all activities are conducted with regard to safety and well-being. We pledge to take every feasible measure to eliminate or reduce potential risks to the health and safety of our workers (including contractors, sub-contractors, volunteers, and more), students, visitors, and anyone impacted by our operations.
Health and safety are collective responsibilities, each crucial in upholding a secure environment at Saint Kentigern. Together, we safeguard our most treasured assets – our community members.
The proactive involvement of all inside our community is what makes a difference. We ask that all incidents, near misses and hazards be reported. Vigilance is invaluable in maintaining the safety and serenity of our Saint Kentigern campuses – an ideal setting for both learning and work.
This page will continually develop, with safety information added as we introduce new protocols. If you have suggestions or specific health and safety topics you'd like to see covered, please get in touch with ask@saintkentigern.com. Your input is highly valued as we strive to make our community safer and more secure.
