Why SEN schools should consider using Nviro to deliver their cleaning
26 April 2024 Category: Schools, Academies and Trusts
Your school for children with special educational needs may look and smell great, but is it hygienically clean and free from bacteria and viruses? Staff and pupils need to feel safe in the knowledge that you are doing everything you can to look after their wellbeing. Only when these are combined do your people feel safe and secure enough to focus and thrive.
Maintaining SEN schools to this standard and protecting their reputation demand specialist skills, meticulous management, a dedicated team and access to the latest and best technologies.
Here are five reasons why SEN schools should consider Nviro to deliver their cleaning:
1) We understand your unique challenges
As specialists in cleaning SEN schools, we understand the challenges you face and are ready to respond to them. We prioritise the wellbeing of your pupils. It’s crucial to provide a clean, hygienic and safe environment for your pupils, as it directly impacts their comfort, health, and ability to learn and thrive.
As specialists in cleaning SEN schools, we understand the challenges you face and are ready to respond to them. From statutory and regulatory obligations to constantly changing legislation, we stay on top of them so you don’t have to.
SEN schools also have a wide range of facilities, each with their own cleaning needs. For example, libraries, hygiene rooms, classrooms, sports facilities, OT suites, hydrotherapy pools, sensory rooms and accommodation each require very different approaches.
Knowing and understanding this means we ensure impeccable hygiene, maximum efficiency, and the very best value.
2) High standards of testing and reporting
As SEN school specialists, our promise of a clean, hygienic and safe environment is backed with a schedule of agreed standards, testing, evaluation and reporting.
Regular reporting provides accountability, transparency and reassurance, while helping us refine our processes for maximum impact – keeping your school community safe, productive and focused.
Analysis of our work and its impact helps us work with you to tailor our work to your school’s needs and budgets – for example by adding extra focus to areas with the most touchpoints and highest footfall.
3) Access to cutting-edge materials and equipment
At Nviro, we have a vast range of cleaning technologies, and our dedicated teams use the latest technologies, including antibacterial sprays, protective coatings, and swab tests to verify the impact of our rigorous cleaning processes.
Our trained specialists understand COSHH regulations on chemical handling and storage and carry out risk assessments to ensure compliance and protect your school community.
A school proven to be hygienically clean is likely to see fewer days lost to sickness and an overall improvement in the health of pupils and teachers. That supports better academic results and improved personal and social development.
4) People focused
Our people are at the heart of our business and make a difference. We value them, train them, nurture them and treat them well – and in turn we ask you to do the same.
We work in partnership with your own business managers, bursars, heads of departments, governors, teachers and facilities providers.
Our service team is exceptional at what they do. They understand the sensitivities of SEN school management and operations and the need to work within budgets to deliver value.
We handle HR, holiday cover, sickness, absences, recruitment, quality control and any employment issues, taking the load off your in-house managers and freeing them up to do what they do best.
5) Delivering cost savings
We can deliver improved standards while saving money because we train our cleaners and can achieve more through streamlined, professional, efficient processes that drive improvements in productivity.
We can handle all aspects of your clean from the everyday through to one-offs. This eliminates the need to pay extra for special projects such as chewing gum removal – bringing savings and simplicity.
Through TUPE arrangements, you retain your existing trusted cleaners, while we add to their skillsets through training and give them better tools for the job.
We also understand the bigger picture so we can offer innovative solutions to issues and reallocate resources for maximum impact and reduced costs.
A clean, hygienic and safe environment goes beyond just cleaning, it’s about the happiness, health, and success of everyone who walks through your school’s doors – that’s especially important when working alongside children with special educational needs.
