- Attendance and headcounts — Use a live register at start/mid/end; reconcile numbers before any room change; mark authorised early departures with time/collector; investigate mismatches immediately; keep paper backup if tech fails; retain registers securely.
- Movement between rooms — Map safe routes; signpost corridors; buddy pupils; close rooms not in use; unlock nearest toilets; brief pupils to "stop and stay put" if separated; staff key junctions; re-count on arrival; review bottlenecks after first week.
- Lighting, housekeeping and wet floors — Switch on route/external lighting early; inspect paths for potholes/ice; place mats at entrances; coordinate with cleaning team; sign wet floors; keep bags off walkways; cover cables; report failed fittings and track fixes.
