Some kind comments from my clients:

Sam Bishop
Headteacher St Mary’s CE Academy

‘Sherryl is professional, friendly and very knowledgeable. She has supported us in ensuring our Health & Safety policy and practices are effective and established. We would highly recommend her!’

Caroline Jenkins
Headteacher,

“Cousins Safety joined our team in Spring 2020. Since then I have had peace of mind that my school is safe and I have everything covered. Sherryl has always been available when I have needed her which has been incredibly helpful during the pandemic. The Risk Assessment service has given me confidence that everything in the school is compliant from staff wellbeing, trips and lone working to playtimes. I would highly recommend Cousins Safety Support to any Headteacher that values their sleep!”

Jane Anderson
Headteacher

“I have used Cousins Safety for many years, in all three schools I have had the pleasure of being Headteacher of. The great service which is offered has saved me hours of work, developed my knowledge and ensured my schools have followed and maintained good health and safety procedures. The support given, especially over the last few months with the Coronavirus, and the fantastic service is definitely a small price to pay for the invaluable knowledge and expertise. I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending Cousins Safety.”

Colleen Dinner
School Business Manager, Holywell Academy

“I have known Sherryl for more than twenty years from the local authority health and safety provision to maintained schools and latter years as an independent health and safety adviser to our Academy. Sherryl has provided many H&S training courses offsite to staff and also whole school training on inset days. Her monthly newsletters are circulated to all staff. She always delivers expert advice in a friendly understandable manner.”

Joseph Piatczanyn
Headteacher, Cranfield Academy

“I’m grateful to Sherryl for her Health and Safety training and ad-hoc support. It is always realistic and comes from a secure and experienced knowledge-base. Resources given during the Coronavirus pandemic were particularly, gratefully received.”

Karen Bingley
Headteacher, St Marys VA School Clophill

“I just wanted to drop you a quick note to say a massive thank you for today’s eBulletin. It is so reassuring to know that you and your company are there to support us in this time. The checklist is excellent. It has made me feel better that I have already considered lots of things on there – really reassuring at this time when it is hard to digest all the information coming out – but also helping me to identify the things that I still need to consider. Thank you also for sending out a template risk assessment as, again, this was something I was worried I didn’t know even where to begin with – so thank you so much.”

Craig Smith
COO Bedfordshire Schools Trust

“At BEST we have been really pleased with the support from Sherryl and Cousins Safety – always helpful and solution focused. The approach is to help you find solutions and manage your risks appropriately – as well as being informed and professional at all times. A much valued partner.”

Alexia Moyle
School Business Manager

“We have worked in partnership with Cousins Safety for several years. We chose to work with Sherryl as she has extensive experience in supporting schools, is professional, knowledgeable and friendly. We appreciate her advice and are confident to share our practice with her so she can identify ways in which we can improve our systems and safety. We feel that we have developed a genuine partnership. What’s special about Cousins Safety is that you know that Sherryl really cares about your school and staff, she has a real and obvious commitment to improving health and safety. She’s practical, pragmatic and keen dispel the myths about ‘we can’t do that because of Health and Safety’. She works with you to seek practical workable solutions for your school. I would recommend Cousins Safety to any school – particularly if you are a new Head or Business Manager. Her no nonsense audit and report would be an excellent start to see where things are working and what could be improved.”

“Sherryl has provided outstanding leadership and support in Health and Safety across our organisation. Her knowledge of the subject is first class and she always “goes the extra mile”. I would highly recommend Sherryl.”
