This guide identifies the areas that should be considered prior to embarking on practical work in a general teaching room, rather than a workshop, food room or art studio.

This guide details what should be done if someone in D&T, food or A+D falls ill and vomits in the room.

This guide supplements a number of other documents and outlines the type of checks that should be carried out across the practical spaces of D&T, Food and Art and Design. 

This guide has been developed to support schools in making arrangements for when pupils have to stay in a workshop, food room or art studio for the whole school day.

It has been developed for use from September 2020.
