Built for UK Schools & Universities

Your school is a worksite.
Treat it like one.

Every tradesperson on your grounds, every induction signed on a clipboard, every contractor whose insurance you've never actually checked, SiteConnect fixes all of that. For good.

The clipboard era is a liability.

Most UK schools are managing contractor health and safety compliance the same way they did in 1994. That worked fine until someone got hurt, and the HSE came knocking.

The Sign-In Sheet Nobody Reads

A paper induction pinned to the office noticeboard isn't a duty holder obligation met. It's a wishful thought.

Compliance risk

Contractors Wandering Without Induction

Maintenance workers, electricians, builders, on your site, around your students, without having signed a single thing.

Duty of care breach

No Evidence When the HSE Visits

"It's all in a folder somewhere." When an inspector arrives, "somewhere" is not a useful answer.

Audit failure

Asbestos Risk Going Unmanaged

Pre-2000 school buildings carry real asbestos risk. The Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 requires a management plan, and without one, you're exposed.

Health & safety hazard

Expired Insurance Nobody Caught

That roofing contractor's public liability policy lapsed three months ago. You had no idea. Neither did they, honestly.

Financial exposure

Office Staff Managing H&S on Top of Everything

Your school business manager is remarkable. But manually chasing contractor certs is not the best use of their Friday.

Operational burden
How it works

Set up in a week. Runs itself after that.

SiteConnect does the heavy lifting so your team can focus on education, not administration.

Build your site profile

Add your school or campus locations, define zones (classrooms, construction areas, sports facilities), and load your hazard register, including asbestos locations if relevant.

Pre-qualify your contractors

Invite contractors to upload their licences, insurance certificates, and pre-qualification documents. SiteConnect alerts you before anything expires.

Run digital inductions

Workers complete a site-specific induction on their phone before they set foot on your grounds. Signed, timestamped, stored automatically.

Manage sign in and out

QR code check-in at your gate or reception. Know exactly who is on site, when they arrived, and when they left, in real time.

Report incidents instantly

Staff report near-misses and incidents from their phone. You get a notification. RIDDOR-reportable events are flagged automatically. No paperwork, no delay.

Built for education

Every feature. School-tested.

SiteConnect is not a construction tool with a new label. These features are built for how UK schools, academies, and universities actually work.

Mobile Contractor Inductions

Contractors receive a link, complete their induction on any device, and cannot sign in until it is done. No printing, no chasing, no exceptions.

Works for tradespeople on your grounds

Expiry Alerts and Reminders

Automatic notifications when contractor insurance, licences, or competency certificates are about to lapse. No surprises, ever.

Insurance, CSCS cards, trade licences

Hazard and Asbestos Register

Document known hazards by location. Contractors are made aware before they start work. Asbestos management plans attach directly to affected zones.

Critical for pre-2000 UK school buildings

Real-Time Site Presence

A live dashboard shows you every contractor and worker on your campus right now. Invaluable in an emergency evacuation situation.

Roll-call ready

Audit-Ready Records

Every induction, sign-in, incident report, and document is stored securely and accessible in seconds. Ofsted or the HSE asks, you deliver.

Ofsted and DfE audit confidence

Contractor Pre-Qualification

Set minimum standards, including insurance levels, trade licences and safety method statements, and let SiteConnect verify before anyone touches your site.

Approved supplier lists simplified

Incident and Near-Miss Reporting

Staff and contractors report incidents from their phones. Escalation workflows notify you instantly. RIDDOR-reportable events are flagged automatically.

RIDDOR 2013 compliant

Multi-Site Management

Running a Multi-Academy Trust or a multi-campus university? Manage all sites, all contractors, and all compliance from one central dashboard.

Ideal for MATs and FE colleges
UK legislation

You're a duty holder. Here's what that means.

Under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974, every UK school and further education provider has a legal duty to protect the health, safety, and welfare of employees, contractors, and anyone else affected by their work.

HSWA 1974, General Duty of Care

As a duty holder, your school must ensure the health and safety of all workers and others on your premises, including contractors. SiteConnect documents every step of that duty.

Sections 2 & 3, Health and Safety at Work Act 1974

CDM 2015, Construction Work on Site

Any construction, maintenance, or refurbishment work at your school triggers CDM 2015 obligations. As the client, you must plan, manage, and monitor contractor safety. SiteConnect's pre-qualification and induction tools keep you compliant.

Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015

RIDDOR 2013, Reporting Requirements

Specified injuries, over-7-day injuries, and dangerous occurrences must be reported to the HSE. SiteConnect's incident reporting tool flags RIDDOR-reportable events and maintains a complete evidence trail.

Reporting of Injuries, Diseases and Dangerous Occurrences Regulations 2013

Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012

Schools with pre-2000 buildings must maintain an asbestos management plan and ensure all contractors are made aware before starting work. SiteConnect attaches this to your site profile and contractor induction.
