Fire Warden in Education

​ Summary 
The role of the Fire Warden within a school is very important. Fire Wardens are there to assist in ensuring adequate fire safety procedures are implemented. The Fire Safety Regulatory Order 2005 requires that the appointed ‘competent person’ (in this case the Fire Warden) must also be provided with suitable training. This training module provides invaluable knowledge to the Fire Warden of their duties and what actions to follow in the event of a fire within a school environment.
