Health and Safety Guidelines
Te Tuhi's educator aims to provide a safe environment for students, minimizing and managing risks by having clear guidelines in place. Our educator is a registered teacher and meets the guidelines of the professional standards for teachers as set by the New Zealand Teachers Council. Our educator possesses the core competencies required for LEOTC providers.
Safety
The safety of LEOTC participants is a shared responsibility between participants and providers of LEOTC. It is Te Tuhi's responsibility to provide competent staff, the required health and safety equipment and the development of a general RAMS form.
Te Tuhi has a health and safety policy and our educator is first aid trained. Te Tuhi's Health and Safety policies are available upon request. We maintain an Accident Register which is to be completed for all incidents regardless of how minor they are.
All teachers are required to bring a current register when visiting and it is the responsibility of the teacher to have this accessible to them at all times.
Te Tuhi is responsible for the safe compliance of the building and fixtures and how the students interact within the Te Tuhi built environment. However all schools and teachers from that school still hold the overall responsibility for the safety for all children within that group.
It is the responsibility of students to adhere to institution and school health and safety guidelines.
Staffing and Supervision
Set staff to student ratios of 1:8 for primary aged students applies in all institutions, as outlined in the Ministry of Education Guidelines. The ratio for secondary students is based on an agreement between the educator and each school.
Parents and Helpers
It is expected that parents and helpers who accompany visiting school groups remain with the group at all times of the visit.
