<http://www.dfes.gov.uk/consultations/conDetails.cfm?consultationId=1375>

also be used for evaluating voluntary sector services.

New Fire Safety Guidance for Schools
<http://www.dfes.gov.uk/consultations/conDetails.cfm?consultationId=1358>
This guidance covers all schools maintained by local education
authorities (LEAs) in England and Wales, and also provides useful advice
for independent schools. It shows how, through good design and
management, to reduce the risk of fires occurring in schools and, when a
fire does occur, how to reduce the risk of it spreading. Because a fire
can have a serious impact on children's education, due to disruption and
loss of course work, it gives advice on property protection as well as
on life safety issues.
*Launch Date:* 01 Aug 2005
*Closing Date:* 18 Nov 2005
