Will it be within the law?

What happens in September?

Scenario: Day1, Parkview child turns up at Parkview site but should be at Thorncliffe site, parents being unwilling or unable to provide transport. They have turned up at the Academy so they have done what they are supposed to do, they are not allowed off site under H & S rules without risk assessment paperwork being filled in. What system will be in place to deal with the child? Are they registered on the site? Are they sent across to Thorncliffe alone? Are they given transport?. Will the Academy be able to register the child as being on site? If a fire alarm goes off can they identify which site a given child is on? Can they honestly say, after the child has turned up at the wrong site that they know where that child is? There are 1001 other questions, none are covered by ANY policy. NO system will be in place to answer these questions by September which makes it ILLEGAL for your child to attend. Child and parent have fulfilled the law, they have attended ‘Furness Academy’, they cannot state that you have gone to the wrong site and do not believe for one minute that they can differentiate, they cannot. The establishment is Furness Academy, not a site. Child and parent have fulfilled the law, they have attended ‘Furness Academy’ end of story. If something happens to them then the Academy is in deep trouble.

Day 2, Same thing happens.

The only way the Academy can be set up safely for our children is for it to be set up properly. That means no shortcuts, no half assed measures, no cutting corners.

If anybody from the Academy can provide VALID answers to concerns then please get in touch.
