Understanding the CDM 2015 Requirements and Duty Holder Roles – School Governor

CDM 2015 regulations set out the duty holder roles required to manage all works on the fabric of the building. The course enables school Governors to be aware of the legal requirements from the CDM regulations and to raise the profile of competence and assurance of compliance for all school building works.  

On successful completion of the course, Governors will be able to: 

Understand their role and responsibilities for assurance of legal compliance, including specific CDM duties the school must follow 
Recognise the importance of managing building works 
Appreciate the consequences of a material breach against the CDM 2015 
Support the school in health and safety improvement

On completing the course, participants will have a clear understanding of CDM regulations, and their role in ensuring the school fulfils its responsibilities across project planning, providing pre-construction information, competencies, resources and health and safety issues. They will also know how they can support the school with communication and collaboration, contract management, documentation, recordkeeping and emergency preparedness.
