The Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 places overall responsibility for health and safety with the employer. Who this is varies with the type of school.
- For community schools, community special schools, voluntary controlled schools, maintained nursery schools and pupil referral units the employer is the Local Education Authority (LEA).
- For foundation schools, foundation special schools and voluntary aided schools, the employer is usually the governing body.
- For independent schools, the employer is usually the governing body or proprietor.
- The Local Authority/LEA is the employer for statutory youth groups. (Note: those in charge of non-statutory youth groups may also find this document useful.)
