5Departmental Policies5.1Communications with parents/guardians policy1. The Department readily fulfils the contacts described in the School Policy Folder, i.e. homework, reporting, parents evening and form tutor duties. 2. Recommendations of "A good" Chemistry text book for them to purchase. We regularly review new publications with respect to content, presentation and cost. We recommend one for purchase if it is felt helpful to the student. The department provides all required textbooks. 3. If after department discussion it is felt advisable for a student to change groups, the position is discussed by the student, Chemistry teacher and HOD, Then Head of year or section will be contacted. 4. The education of a child is a shared task involving parents/guardians, teachers and students. We therefore hope that parents/guardians will provide the following support: a) ensure the student has the necessary basic equipment. b) assist with the provision of "raw" materials for model work. c) facilitate the use of reference material if necessary, e.g. project homework. 5. The department welcomes governors to visit/attend Chemistry lessons. These visits have occurred in the past with the most recent set of inspections in 2012 and helped developed positive relationships and informed mutual understanding.
Meetings will occur once a week and will have three standing items on the Agenda. Each meeting will come with an Agenda in advance and staff should email any additional points they would like to add to the agenda. Each week will have one or two additional items that will vary depending on the immediate needs of the department. The agenda will have the following layout:
The agenda will be emailed the day before to all attendees. Departmental meetings will be used for the following: weekly housekeeping, work scrutiny, developing departmental policy, sharing good practice and focusing the department and teaching around the school priorities. All departmental meetings will be followed by written minutes, in the form of an appended version of the minutes. These will be stored in both the shared drive and shared area. 5.3Safety policyEach student is given a copy of the following safety code to be put into their first exercise book when they first attend the School. THE LABORATORY SAFETY CODE The laboratory is a much safer place to work if you follow this code: Before the lesson starts you must: 1. Never go into a Chemistry laboratory without permission. 2. Always walk into the laboratory and never run or push anyone.
1. Always know exactly what you are doing. If not, ask your teacher. 2. Always wear safety goggles/glasses when told to do so. 3. Always wear an apron when told to do so. 4.

1. Risk assessment and planning before a lesson 2. Organisation of routines during and between lessons to include: i. the use of goggles protective clothing, etc. ii. reporting breakages and dealing with sharp objects and broken glass iii. location of safety equipment 3. Control to include: i. Where to find safety information e.g. COSHH file, risk assessments & CLEAPSS Hazcards etc. ii. Regular safety checks. 4. Monitor and Review - including procedures for reporting hazards/suspected hazards and those for reviewing risk assessments and safety in general.
1. Have carried out a risk assessment. 2. Have ordered any safety equipment. 3. Know when to use a fume cupboard and have arranged a room swap beforehand if the assessment deemed this to be necessary. Risk assessment is a process that has several components: 1. Identify hazards. 2. Look at cause and effect. 3. Examine methods of work. 4. Investigate the safety literature for advice. 5. Remove hazards where possible. 6. Estimate any costs incurred in changing practice and obtain or request relevant funding. 7. Implement new practices. 8. Review the changes - risk better or worse?
1. Be familiar with evacuation procedures in case of fire or other emergency. 2. Know the location of, and how to use, fire fighting equipment. 3. Know the location and identity of the trained first aider. 4. Know how to use the eye wash bottle.
