In anticipation of Martyn’s Law, which we expect to be effective later this year, we want to ensure that your educational setting is ready and prepared to protect your staff and pupils against terrorism.
As we are now mid-way through the academic year, it is a great time to reassess class management, challenges and the running of the school day.
There are many concerns facing the education sector, with staff recruitment and retention being one of the biggest challenges for 2024. According to Reed, 40,000 teachers left the profession in 2022, while 13% of newly qualified teachers left after qualifying and an additional 19% left after two years of teaching.
Time is of the essence, so the saying goes, and nowhere is this more significant than in medicine where patient lives are on the line. Accurate time isn't a mere convenience in a healthcare facility; it's a central way of ensuring that processes are running efficiently and patient safety is paramount. It determines when a patient receives medication, when shift changes occur, when appointments begin and end, how long a patient can undergo surgery and when medicines should be taken to name a few.
Schools and colleges are important institutions for providing education and developing pupils’ social skills, but they should also be places where parents feel confident that their children are safe and secure.
Schools have a legal responsibility to ensure the safety of staff and pupils whilst on the premises. The Department for Education (DfE) has a list of the policies and documents that schools are legally required to hold. These encompass the social, criminal and on-line risks children face including evacuation procedures, but procedures or policies covering emergency situations that may require the school to go into lockdown are not included. Lockdown is necessary when children and staff need to be securely locked within buildings for their own safety.
There are around 11 million people across the UK suffering from some degree of hearing loss, and 50,000 of them are children. Hearing and learning go hand-in-hand, so any hearing impairment means much more for a child than simply struggling to hear. Whether temporary, permanent or fluctuating, it impacts not only a child’s experience in the classroom but their social and emotional development, literacy skills and speech and language abilities.
Clear and effective communication is the bridge that connects individuals whether at home or at work. It encompasses two critical senses, vision and hearing, and while most people have full function of these senses, there are some who experience varying degrees of sensory difficulties and impairments. This may not only have an impact on their communication and social interaction skills but may limit their ability to absorb information or to react to specific situations, especially in the work environment.

Hospitals and other healthcare premises rely enormously on accurate records and timekeeping throughout each department. When it comes to looking after someone's health, all medical charts, reports and timed procedures must remain consistent. To do this, hospitals and other medical facilities require reliable clock systems.
Accurate timekeeping can make all the difference to patients' recovery or health maintenance, especially concerning dispensing lifesaving medications, administering exact dosages, timing anaesthetics during surgical procedures, and more. Should timings not be accurate, it could have serious health outcomes for the patient and legal consequences for the medical team involved in their care.
