We will be doing maintenance to our website systems on Sunday, 23 August. Despite the ongoing situation with Covid-19 it is essential that we maintain the security of our systems. This will help us continue to deliver vital public health messages and information about council services via our website and allow you all to access our services using online forms. The work should be done with little disruption to you and any interruption should be short. If you do have problems accessing the site or something doesn’t work on Sunday, please try again later.
The DfE has published new non-statutory guidance which provides practical advice for teachers, technicians and other members of staff involved in the delivery of practical science on the purchase, storage and disposal of hazardous chemicals.
The guidance can be found here:
https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/storing-and-disposing-of-hazardous-chemicals-in-schools
It should be read in conjunction with advice provided by the suppliers of hazardous chemicals (known as ‘Material Safety Data Sheets’), information and guidance provided by recognised professional bodies or organisations, such as CLEAPSS or the Health and Safety Executive (HSE), and considered alongside the Home Office’s Secure Your Chemicals guidance.
