Top of the Class Nationally for SchoolPro Safety Lead

Setting new standards for school safety support, our sponsor SchoolPro TLC is proud to announce that Jamie Bartlam, Director of SchoolPro Safety, has become the first person in the UK to achieve the prestigious IOSH Level 6 Diploma in Occupational Safety and Health Leadership and Management.

Developed by the Institution of Occupational Safety and Health (IOSH), the world’s largest health and safety Membership Body, the Diploma is the most advanced qualification of its kind, designed to develop professionals who can lead with confidence, clarity, and expertise in increasingly complex working environments.

Delighted with Jamie's achievement, Ian Arkell, SchoolPro TLC CEO said:
"Becoming the first in the UK to achieve IOSH Level 6 is an extraordinary milestone for Jamie. For our hundreds of existing clients, and new future clients who are not yet familiar with SchoolPro Safety service, this amazing achievement demonstrates our commitment to help schools meet the highest standards in all areas covered by our exceptional support services. It is more than a qualification. It’s what it means for the schools we support: safer environments, stronger compliance, and the confidence that they’re working with the very best in the UK.”

This milestone also reinforces SchoolPro TLC’s wider commitment to providing trusted, high-quality services that help schools stay focused on what matters most: delivering excellent education in safe and supportive environments. At a time when safety in schools is under increasing scrutiny, this achievement highlights the importance of having trusted, expertly qualified professionals guiding policy and practice. 

Kate Sault, Senior Health & Safety Consultant from Business Safety Systems, who facilitated the course, commented how:
"Jamie’s success is a testament to the quality of our training and the dedication of our learners. This qualification represents a new era in health and safety leadership, and we’re honoured to be part of that journey and proud to be at the forefront of health and safety education in the UK."

Head of Awarding at IOSH Mike Smith, added:  
“We’re delighted to see Jamie become the first UK graduate for our Level 6 Diploma. We hope he will be the first of many to benefit from this qualification as we seek to develop future occupational safety and health professionals, supported by our excellent study centres.”

As the Director of SchoolPro Safety, the specialist health and safety arm of SchoolPro TLC, Jamie supports Schools and Trusts across the country with practical, tailored advice, training, audits, and strategic guidance. His success in this rigorous, work-based qualification reflects the level of insight and real-world expertise that SchoolPro Safety brings to every client relationship.

Commenting on his accolade, Jamie Bartlam, said:
“I’m proud to be the first in the UK to complete the Level 6 Diploma. The course has helped me refine how we support schools, making sure the advice and systems we offer are not only compliant, but effective and achievable in busy education settings.”

We commend Jamie for his commitment to health and safety.
