Your school's health and safety culture is as strong as its weakest point... You can't just rely on having great policies and procedures - they need to be effectively implemented, and a strong safety culture is crucial in achieving this. So, what do we mean by health and safety culture? What are the common challenges to creating and sustaining a positive health and safety culture throughout your school? And most importantly… how can you overcome these challenges? Come along to my breakout session “Winning hearts and minds in health and safety – how to influence health and safety culture in your school" at The Independent Schools' Bursars Association Estates and Health & Safety Conference on Wednesday 25th September at BMA House, London. Having attended the conference many times before, I can honestly say that this is a really fabulous and well-organised event jam packed with keynotes and breakout sessions specific to the current Estates and H&S challenges faced by independent schools. The conference also provides an excellent opportunity to network with those in similar roles, and to visit the stands of some fantastic industry suppliers (including Pearson Webb Consulting!). ISBA member schools can find further information, together with the booking link, by logging into The ISBA website and going to the Courses and Webinars link under the CPD tab (direct link: https://lnkd.in/egpag44Q) We look forward to seeing you there! #ISBA #ISBApd #HealthandSafety #Estates #HealthandSafetyManagement #SchoolBursar #Bursars #IndependentSchools #BoardingSchools #PrepSchools #SchoolSafety #Schools #HealthandSafetyCulture #Culture #SaferSchools

Tip #2 Create a Study Plan: Creating a study schedule will give you a road map to follow. Procrastination is one mistake that students often make when transitioning to a college or university-level course load. Creating and following your study schedule increases organisation, structure, and good studying habits. #Mondayinspiration #studytips #studymotivation #studytime #studyhard #fridayreads #focusonthatgoal #sandotrustbursary #ngo #bursary #studentsaretomorrowsleaders #ngocapetown

Here at Tanf we believe every child should get the opportunity to receive an education. This is why we try to tackle any issues that may prevent a child from their schooling so they are able to focus solely on their education. #EducationMatters #tanfghana

3: Ask For Help When Needed. Struggling or needing help is not a sign of weakness. There are multiple resources and people who want to help you, including your professors, tutors, and fellow classmates who are probably in the same situation as you. Think about creating a study group online or in person when everyone has time, to brainstorm, study together and, help each other. #WednesdayWisdom #wednesdaywellness #wednesdaymotivation #studytips #studymotivation #studytime #studyhard #fridayreads #focusonthatgoal #sandotrustbursary #ngo #bursary #studentsaretomorrowsleaders #ngocapetown

Today, we see trends of our young people not being able to grasp the complexity of today's global issues or being able to discern cultural competency to the extent necessary to function in a more global community. As educators, we share in this responsibility with other educators, parents, and students because as it is often said, "it takes a village." What better way to facilitate our young people in acquiring these attributes than showing them the value of service or fair trade learning in our partner communities? Message Ardenti or comment below that you are interested in receiving more information about how we can move your student(s) to a higher level of cultural competence and awareness by learning in our communities abroad. We have multiple opportunities for fair trade learning in Education, Nursing, Communications, Human Services (HSDA) and more! These short term learning abroad opportunities pair quite nicely with many education/HSDA/nursing etc. classes! Let's get your students on the right path for success! #college #university #collegelife #universitylife #studyabroad #fairtrade #shorttermstudyabroad #resumebuilder #Education #teaching #nursing #HSDA #humanservices #culture #culturalcompetence
