Queen Anne’s School in Caversham recently hosted an ‘IOSH Working Safely Course’ run by Stepping Stones for Business. The delegates, who included staff from Queen Anne’s and surrounding schools, passed the end of course assessment and are now fully IOSH Working Safely qualified.

This was the first course organised as a joint venture between Stepping Stones for Business and Queen Anne’s.  Following its success a number of safety courses are being scheduled for 2014, including ‘IOSH Working Safely’, ‘IOSH Managing Safely’, ‘Manual Handling’ and ‘Asbestos Awareness’.  Queen Anne’s boasts excellent conference facilities, has fantastic transport links and ample parking for visiting delegates – making it a perfect venue for hosting training courses.

‘IOSH is a well-recognised qualification and at Queen Anne’s we strive to provide the best safety training for our staff.  We opened up the opportunity to other schools in the area and were inundated with enquiries.  Following the success of this first course we are now planning a series of courses for 2014!’
