Course Details

Fire safety in any setting is important. When it involves large-scale gatherings such as in schools, colleges and universities, it’s even more relevant. 

This online CPD training, which is module 1 of our fire safety series, is purpose-designed for teachers, teaching assistants, youth and/or residential childcare workers, pastoral support staff and SENCOs, whether they have a specific fire safety function, or are interested in upskilling in the subject.

Whilst school fires are exceptionally rare in the UK, participants will learn that all schools are legally required to have a fire safety plan called a Fire Safety Risk Assessment (FSRA). This sets out the regime for fire drills, evacuation procedures, responsibilities etc, in line with guidance set out by the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG).

This CPD training outlines the purpose of having fire safety regulations and regular fire safety risk assessments and why they are so crucial for all those working with children and young people in an educational setting. This course also provides detailed information about safety concerns in and around school, along with the specific behaviour of fire and how it can quickly and ferociously develop, spreading noxious and highly dangerous gases in an instant.

With this CPD training, education professionals can gain the necessary knowledge and skills they need, alongside a better understanding of relevant legislation that affects them. 

    Adaptability and Flexibility Skills  

Course Aims

This online CPD training aims to equip educators and those working with groups of children and young people in any setting, with practical, up-to-date knowledge about the importance of maintaining high standards of fire safety.

Course Objectives

At the end of this course, participants will be able to:

  • Explain the importance of fire safety awareness and be able to advise others
  • Identify relevant fire legislation and know what their specific responsibilities (and those of other appointed officers) are
  • Describe the behaviour of fire, how fire spreads and how to stop it. Participants will learn how heat, fuel and oxygen can both ignite and extinguish a fire
  • Explain the common causes of fire in education settings, i.e.: arson, burning of chemical substances in laboratories, cigarettes, etc
  • Describe how fire risks can be reduced by things like regularly checking equipment and removing anything that is found to be faulty
  • Understand the necessity for having fire safety regulations in school, and that this is essential for all staff, as it will help decrease the chance of a fire occurring.
