Q. There is building work going on at the school
nearby and we're being disrupted/disturbed by the building
operations. What are you going to do about it?
A. Please speak to the headteacher. He/she will explain the full
circumstances and liaise with the project manager/contractor to see
what can be done to alleviate any nuisance.
Q. I was visiting the school and I tripped/injured
myself due to a pot hole in the car park. I want to make sure it
doesn't happen again. Who do I contact?
A. We would kindly ask you to make this known to the headteacher
at the school. He/she will check the full circumstances, report the
incident and take appropriate action.
Q. Parents collecting and dropping off their children at
school are parking in front of my drive and blocking me in. What
are you going to do about it?
A. Please alert the headteacher of the school to your
circumstances. He/she will endeavour to persuade parents to act
responsibly when collecting/dropping off children to the
school.
Q. A child was injured at school when a tree was blown
over in recent heavy winds. What do you do to try to stop this
happening?
A. KCC undertakes an annual tree survey of all its trees on all
its school sites and takes immediate remedial action if a tree is
considered to be in a dangerous condition, but it is impossible to
guarantee that something similar would not happen in future.
Q. What do you do to ensure that school buildings are
accessible to the disabled?
A. KCC is fully aware of its responsibilities to the disabled
and sets aside funding to finance measures which will open its
buildings to reasonable access. If there is a specific problem
please bring this to the attention of the headteacher. Regrettably,
funding does not match need so it will take time for all buildings
to be adapted. See
Fact Sheet on Disability Discrimination Act.
Q. I suspect there may be asbestos in my building - what
should I do?
A. Please refer to the
Asbestos Fact Sheet.
Q. I am not sure if the glass in a KCC building is up to
current standards - what should I do?
A. Please refer to the
Glazing Regulations Fact Sheet.
Q. How often should my lift be inspected/serviced and
