L2 HEALTH & SAFETY IN THE TEXTILES CLASSROOM/STUDIO

This is a Face-to-Face Health & Safety course for anyone working in a textiles studio/classroom, which includes a Level 2 Accreditation through CIEH (Chartered Institute for Environmental Health).

A full day course designed specifically for all who teach and support in textiles activities in schools, colleges and studios.

Teaching textiles is both a challenging and exciting experience for students, but it is imperative that textiles activities take place in a safe and secure environment. Best practice comes from staff who are knowledgeable about relevant aspects of Health and Safety and who feel confident in managing and maintaining a healthy and safe workplace for both their students and staff.

Staff should be able to identify hazards and assess risks, and quickly determine how best to minimise, remove, or control such risks within the teaching environment.

WHO IS THIS COURSE FOR

This course is designed specifically for all who teach and support in textiles activities in schools, colleges and studios, including teachers, trainers, technicians, teaching assistants / higher-level teaching assistants, trainee teachers, special needs support staff and textiles club leaders.

The course is completed with an online accreditation assessment through the Chartered Institute For Environmental Health (CIEH). On successful completion you will be awarded a Level 2 Health & Safety in the Workplace accreditation. Fees are included in cost of course.
