Road Safety

Description

A panel of school governors discuss schools and road safety, offering useful information and advice.

The governors talk about their legal responsibilities with relation to the problem of a hypothetical school's location next to a busy road.

After watching a series of reconstructions, they debate where their duties as school governors lie. Keeping a close eye on the discussion is governor expert Paul McGann, who provides advice and guidance on dealing with the issues along the way.

The team discuss:

• Their responsibilities for pupils' health and safety out of school grounds and out of school hours
• The school's relationship with the Local Education Authority
• Responsibility for disabled access to the school
• How to handle inappropriate action by individual governors

The programme will be of value to school governors keen on understanding more about their role and how to act in the best interests of their school.
