COVID19: Risk Assessment and Action Plan for lockdowns

SCHOOL NAME: Sonning Common Primary School OWNER: Mr Chris Hirst

DATE: 11th January 2021 Purpose of this document:

This COVID19: Risk Assessment and Action Plan document sets out the decisions taken, and measures put in place to prepare for the opening of the school January 2021 and ensure the school continues to operate in a safe way.

Schools must comply with health and safety law, which requires them to assess risks and put in place proportionate control measures. Schools should thoroughly review their health and safety risk assessments and draw up plans for the autumn term that address the risks identified using the system of controls set out below. These are an adapted form of the system of protective measures that will be familiar from the summer term. Essential measures include:

•a requirement that people who are ill stay at home

•robust hand and respiratory hygiene

•enhanced cleaning arrangements

•active engagement with NHS Test and Trace

•formal consideration of how to reduce contacts and maximise distancing between those in school wherever possible and minimise potential for contamination so far as is reasonably practicable

Risk Assessment

and Planning

Risk assessment process fully engages

staff, Governing Body and Union

Representatives.

Not all stakeholders will know what

is going on or feel involved in the

creation of the Risk Assessment

Emergency

Evacuations

Evacuation routes are confirmed, and

signage accurately reflects these.

NB In the event of emergency the

priority is getting out of the building

calmly regardless of social distancing.

Consideration given to PEEP – buddies

are assigned or reassigned according to

available persons.

Arrangements in place to support

individuals with reduced mobility

including cover arrangements in the

case of reduced numbers of staff.

Bottlenecks are likely at the

entrance to school. Social

distancing unlikely to be

maintained

The PEEP system may not always

work due to the lack of staff in

the bubble that they are

allocated to.

Enhanced cleaning regime is in place in

line with COVID19: Cleaning in non-

healthcare settings guidance.

The cleaning regime does not

comply with the latest

Government Guidance

There is a risk that supplies of

cleaning materials will not be

able to be sourced

There is a risk that supplies within

school will run out

There is a risk that HIGH RISK

areas will not be cleaned in

sufficient depth and detail

The cleaning materials will not

meet the minimum requirements

Cleaning staff capacity is adequate to

enable enhanced cleaning regime.

There are not enough staff to

perform enhanced cleaning

regime in line with DFE Guidance

Cleaning and

waste disposal

been determined and appropriate

signage in place.

There is a possibility of pupils

encroaching into each other’s

social bubbles

Appropriate resources are available

within all classrooms e.g. IT, age specific

who were previously working from

home due to shielding, (clinically

vulnerable and/or living with someone

in these groups), and appropriate

arrangements for mitigating risk are

identified.

Staff who were previously

shielding and will return to

school, this year group are less

likely to be able to socially

distance.

Plans to respond to increased sickness

levels are in place.

Cover arrangements determined

(including leaders and safeguarding

designated leads) – on a weekly rather

than daily basis to minimise contacts.

There is a risk that staff with

specific responsibilities will

become affected by the virus or

must self-isolate

Consideration given to staff clothing

expectations and information shared

with staff.

There is a possibility of virus cross

contamination through clothing

Approaches for meetings and staff

training in place.

There is a possibility of staff cross

impact to both Students and Staff

if their well-being is not

considered to be the highest

priority

Staff well-being could become

responsible for staff absence or

staff not performing well.

Use of staff rooms should be minimised,

although staff must still have a break of

a reasonable length during the day.

Process in place for use of the limited

number of self-testing kits.

Staff who are unclear about

return to work protocols could be

putting themselves and others at

risk of contracting the virus.

Staff absence could be high due

to lack of testing kits and facilities

The approach for inducting new starters

has been reviewed and updated in line

with current situation.

New staff encountering staff who

they do not need to encounter is

an increased risk to spreading the

This COVID19: Risk Assessment and Action Plan document sets out the decisions taken, and measures put in place to prepare for the opening of the school January 2021 and ensure the school continues to operate in a safe way.

Schools must comply with health and safety law, which requires them to assess risks and put in place proportionate control measures. Schools should thoroughly review their health and safety risk assessments and draw up plans for the autumn term that address the risks identified using the system of controls set out below. These are an adapted form of the system of protective measures that will be familiar from the summer term. Essential measures include:

•formal consideration of how to reduce contacts and maximise distancing between those in school wherever possible and minimise potential for contamination so far as is reasonably practicable

https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/actions-for-schools-during-the-coronavirus-outbreak/guidance-for-full-opening-schools

*The template below includes examples in grey, these are not exhaustive, and schools should adapt/edit/develop this RA to suit their sites on-going requirements informed by the OCC COVID19 schools full opening September 2020 guidance document and GOV.UK guidance-see link at the end of the document.

*The completed RA should be regarded as a ‘working document’ and reviewed regularly (determined by the school) particularly at the start of the new term.
