RIDDOR reportable incidents

Please note: Maintained schools do not report their incidents to the HSE – the health and safety team at Suffolk County Concil does this.

However, the Incident reporting in schools guidance from the HSE, can help you ensure that you report the incident to [email protected] as quickly as possible. 

Academies, voluntree aided, free schools and other non-maintained schools should have their own system for capturing incidents and for reporting to the HSE where required.
