Online Health and Safety Training for Schools
London (UK), February 2010 - Cobent Limited has announced the launch of "HeadSafe", a new eLearning resource for schools developed by risk-management consultancy Three Spires Safety. The HeadSafe programme has been developed to provide head teachers, school bursars, school governors, and other school managers with a practical online-training resource covering health and safety in schools.
Rob Castledine, subject-matter expert and Director of Three Spires Safety, created HeadSafe in partnership with Cobent Limited, a leading provider of Learning Management System (LMS) and compliance-training software solutions. Castledine leveraged his twenty years of experience in providing practical advice and consultancy services to organisations on a range of safety-related issues with Cobent's interactive eLearning content-development and instructional-design expertise to create HeadSafe.
HeadSafe is delivered and managed through Cobent's Learning Compliance Suite (LCS) platform and is available by online subscription purchase. HeadSafe features interactive online health and safety modules, real life case studies, and downloadable resources to help school leaders evaluate their own safety systems.
Castledine comments on the launch of HeadSafe, "Head teachers are busy people who need concise, practical information and useful tools that can help identify and manage key risks. Many existing training resources, aimed at the education sector, focus very much on specific issues whilst overlooking the more strategic view of risk management that school leaders can easily relate to. HeadSafe provides a cost-effective resource that school managers can use at a time convenient to them and alongside their existing safety procedures."
Howard Sears, Cobent's CEO adds, "Cobent is dedicated to providing organisations with the tools to cost-effectively train and support their managers and employees. HeadSafe is another great example of how eLearning can make useful information readily accessible to those who need it."
