Our Services
Competent Person Service
As your appointed Competent Person, our experienced consultants provide ongoing Health & Safety advice and practical support to help your school or Trust meet its responsibilities. You will have access to clear guidance, responsive support and online resources including policies, templates, risk assessments and accident reporting tools.
Health & Safety Management Audits
Our Health & Safety Management Audits provide an independent review of your school’s existing arrangements, policies and procedures. We identify areas of good practice, highlight potential gaps and provide a clear, prioritised action plan to help your school continually improve its approach to Health & Safety.
Onsite Support Visits
Our consultants can visit your school to provide practical, hands-on support with Health & Safety matters. From reviewing higher-risk areas and working practices to supporting risk assessments, contractor management and remedial actions, we provide clear advice tailored to your school environment.
Educational Visits Advisor
Acting as your appointed Educational Visits Advisor, we provide specialist advice and support to help schools and academy trusts plan and manage educational visits safely and effectively. We can support schools using both the eVisit and EVOLVE systems, providing guidance, oversight and review of visit arrangements.
Our Advisors are AAOLEV members and deliver accredited Educational Visits Coordinator (EVC) and Visit Leader training.
Fire Risk Assessments
Our qualified fire risk assessors undertake comprehensive Fire Risk Assessments across school and academy sites, identifying potential risks and providing clear, prioritised recommendations. Our team can also provide ongoing advice and support to help schools manage remedial actions and maintain effective fire safety arrangements.

We couldn’t be more impressed with the outstanding health and safety service we received. The YMD Boon team have demonstrated a deep understanding of compliance, risk management, and practical work solutions. Their attention to detail, proactive approach, and thorough assessments gave us complete confidence in our operations. They have gone above and beyond to ensure not only legal compliance but also the safety and well-being of our staff. Highly recommended!

We have used the Health and Safety services of YMD Boon for around 10 years and have always felt well supported. Our current specialist is really helpful at supporting us to have the highest levels of health and safety compliance and contributing to our strategic management of health and safety so that this remains the case. I would happily recommend YMD Boon.
