This will ensure that teachers are in a position to identify and analyse risks involved in the school curriculum activities and subsequently develop and implement strategies to manage risk and minimise the possibility of accident and injury. According to Sharp (1990), the prime risk areas in school settings seem to be supervision, conduct of the activity and the nature of the activity, and equipment and faciUties. While head teachers are expected to maintain adequate systems of supervision to protect all children in the care of the school, this responsibility is delegated to class teachers. The question of what constitutes adequate supervision is dependent on a number of circumstances such as ... 

All class teachers and coordinators need to be familiar with the school policy contents and procedures and link the school aims with curriculum-specific policy statements. This will create an appreciation of the wholeness of health and safety management. It will also help to ensure that class teachers, at the heart of the teaching and learning proces, are well informed with expected practice.

Teachers must thus ensure that they and the pupils, as visitors, work within a safe environment during their lessons and other sanctioned activities by reporting any faults to the head teacher so that the governing body or LEA, as occupiers , may take action.

I cannot say that a large body of high quality teaching material emerged in this way. Indeed, the project published some rather unremarkable stuff. But that was not really the issue. The issue was political to persuade parents, head teachers, other teachers, and local and central government officials that solutions could be found and that teachers could be trusted to find them. In this, the Review succeeded.

Virtually all the schools had identified the development of classroom investigations as a problem area. School inspections indicated that pupils needed to be more independent to set up their own investigations, as well as to be enabled to explain their findings. Head teachers, co-ordinators, and local authority education advisors considered that teachers were reluctant to provide open-ended investigations because they lacked confidence and knowledge in science.

The devastation and trauma was summed up by the head teacher The first reaction is shock and numbness, followed by total disbelief and then realisation that 25 years of resources have gone that all the carefully collected photographs, booklets and artefacts from all over Europe have gone that all the papen/vork for the administration of public examinations has gone, and all the school text books and personal belongings have gone. ...
