We are looking at some of our Health and Safety templates and revising some that need immediate updating, including First Aid. Plus, we have an offer to print a Health and Safety Manual for any who have not put one together.

See our Health and Safety Webpage

First Aid Template Update

At a recent Diocesan Council Meeting, the question was asked about what Faith Communities needed to do around First Aid Provision. We reviewed the template we had in place and felt it needed to have more up to date information. 

Link to revised template

The main change has been to encourage Faith Communities to assess if they need to have people trained in First Aid on site during services and other activities. This won't be possible in all situations, so the revised template has some suggestions around how you can make sure you have any eventuality covered. 

Health and Safety Manuals

We are aware that many Faith Communities may not have printed out a Health and Safety manual (based on the templates) for Vestries or Church Committees to have on various sites they operate from. We have attached a printable version below, please contact Andrew Metcalfe if you would like us to send one out to you. 

The Health and Safety page on the website has MS-Word versions of all the Health and Safety templates if you want to adapt any of these to your specific area. Have a look in the Health and Safety Form Templates folder in the drop box area of the Health and Safety Webpage, or contact Andrew Metcalfe if we can get these to you another way.
