MAT Due Diligence Audit
MATs often require a Health & Safety due-diligence audit, prior to acquiring new school premises. We can help.
Are you confident your MAT knows all the hidden liabilities before acquiring a new school?
Ensure a smart acquisition with Judicium’s Health & Safety Due Diligence Audit, which examines site security, electrical safety, fire precautions, and more to reveal potential costs, providing actionable recommendations that mitigate risks and secure a safe, compliant school environment.
Areas covered in our MAT Due Diligence Audit
Site security measures
We review your fencing, CCTV, and access control measures.
Electrical safety
We review if the school has a fixed wiring 5 year inspection.
Slips, trips & falls
We review if the school surfaces are suitable, are stairs constructed correctly (do they conform to regulations), are edges highlighted, are outside areas in suitable condition.
Working environment
We review the school working environment via a window survey (do windows conform to the 1992 workplace regulations), and a Water management survey - are legionella controls adequate.
Vehicles on site
We review if vehicles on site are properly i.e. are traffic calming measures or additional fencing/gates required.
Work equipment
We review if school equipment maintained in accordance with PUWER regulations i.e. annual inspections. This includes equipment such as kitchen appliances, extraction systems, fume cupboards, LEV's in practical areas etc. If the school has electric gates, we review if are these serviced and maintained.
Fire precautions
We review if there is a suitable and sufficient Fire risk assessment. Are there any outstanding improvement recommendations? To ascertain significant fire management issues we will complete our own fire risk assessment and our consultant will ask key questions.
Asbestos management
We review if the school has an Asbestos Management survey? If so it will be reviewed to ensure there are no removal or recommended works that have not been completed.
Health and Safety has always been a difficult area for us; we simply don't have the knowledge or expertise to carry out all the risk assessments ourselves. Judicium's down to earth approach and simple to read policies and documents are a refreshing change."
