Nuffield Science Bursaries - Schools and Colleges

Who holds responsibility for students on bursary placements in terms of insurance and health and safety?

The primary responsibility for health and safety rests with the project provider. A separate set of guidance notes is available from your Nuffield Co-ordinator. However, if you are arranging your own projects you should check that the project provider has a copy of these notes and is aware of their responsibility. You should also check that the insurance scheme of the project provider covers the student while they are on their bursary placement. Your school/college/LEA may require you to vet the host organisation for health and safety purposes.
