  Testimonials
  
  Reliable Health and Safety advice is essential for any school and as an academy peace of mind that we are compliant with regulations has been welcomed. The service provided by PT02A in terms of audit, advice and the recording/monitoring of incidents in a non-judgemental and supportive way has been effective during an otherwise hectic year. The supportive relationship has continued to build a good knowledge of the specific circumstance of the academy and so provide tailored advice for solutions to any issues.
