Further Education Sector in Scotland

There are there are 27 colleges across 13 regions.

Colleges Scotland[1] 'the voice of the FE sector in Scotland', hosts several themed 'development networks'. One of these is the Health and Safety Development Network (H&SDN)[2], which is a forum for health and safety practitioners across colleges in Scotland.

The H&SDN has a steering group, which comprises health and safety managers from various college regions, plus a representative from HSE and the Scottish Centre for Healthy Working Lives, who are ex officio members. The steering group's responsibilities include:

  • managing communications across the college health and safety community to provide support
  • organising a regular programme of health and safety events
  • developing performance indicators eg standardised accident reporting
  • promoting strong health and safety leadership
  • encouraging sensible and proportionate health and safety risk management

The H&SDN webpages contain examples of useful guidance on illuminating practice, meeting minutes, presentations from events, etc.
