The Academies Show sees the launch of the Eteach Compliance Manager, which protects staff and pupils and keeps education premises legally compliant.
The unique software is a risk management tool to identify risks, minimise the likelihood of harm and ensure that academies are always compliant with current legislation. It was the brainchild of Bob Ward, an ex-fire fighter with over 20 years’ experience, who saw the need for an effective and easy-to-use system: “It’s obvious that the sector faces specific safety challenges when it comes to the safety of everyone who works and studies in education premises. Research* shows that there are a substantial number of fires in schools each year and that they have a significant impact on the social and emotional experiences of pupils and staff. The powerful Eteach Compliance Manager software can help prevent this.”
Eteach is the UK’s leading online education recruitment service and already works with over 6,000 academies, schools and colleges. It has a reputation for delivering high quality solutions to schools, saving them time and money – and the new Compliance Manager tool delivers these benefits. Chief Executive Paul Howells welcomes the opportunity to harness its technological expertise and in-depth knowledge of the sector to develop an important new product: “We know the education sector inside out and the challenges it faces when it comes to recruitment. Working with Bob and his team was an exciting opportunity to harness our experience and expertise to make a difference where it really counts - the safety of staff and pupils. Plus the chance to offer schools, academies and colleges a cost-effective online management tool to make sure they stay on top of all the complex requirements of current legislation.”
The software is backed up by a team of expert assessors who undertake fire risk assessments, or train employees in schools and colleges to do so.
