"Handsam are a pleasure to work with. Simon and the team, are both highly professional and have a deep knowledge in the complex world of data protection. They have offered invaluable advice in some really difficult cases.
Their training packages are simple to use and are all part of the service fee. Without doubt we have moved our school’s data protection compliance forward by working with them."
Andrew - School Business Manager
"As the School Health and Safety Manager, ensuring the safety and well-being of our staff and students is my top priority. Recently, we encountered a health and safety challenge that required immediate attention and expertise. Handsam Ltd and our Health and Safety Consultant, Simon Lowe, were exceptional during this time, providing clear guidance, practical solutions, and unwavering support throughout a particularly stressful period."
Jahangir - Finance and Lettings Manager
“Since rolling out HANDSAM across our schools it has had a massive impact. Within my team alone (facilities) it has altered the way the whole team complete their roles, assess risk and continually look to amend previous procedures to work in a more safe manner. The number of additional checks and monitoring processes it has allowed me to put in place have completely altered the way that we work – and the best part is, when it’s set up, it’s there forever and the audit trail is simple and robust."
Steve - Trust Estates Manager
"From the moment we engaged with Simon and the team, their support has been reliable and consistent. The team provides quality support and guidance, ensuring that the Trust and our schools are compliant with all relevant regulations and laws. Their attention to detail and comprehensive solutions have given us peace of mind.
The GDPR service provided by Handsam is equally exceptional. They've shown an incredible understanding of our specific needs and have provided tailored solutions that have streamlined our data protection efforts."

"Just a note to say how valuable I have found the Handsam system. The in depth coverage regarding health and safety regulations and monitoring requirements that are involved in the day to day operation within education are easily managed with this tailored program. I have used the system since 2011, during which time I have found it to be an excellent aid with access to the Handsam team for any Health and Safety advice and assistance."

Your excellent document and very responsive and helpful support really helped us and is most appreciated."

John - Head Teacher
"When I took up my new role of Site Supervisor and was introduced to the Handsam system, I was tying myself up in knots at the task in hand – I am not the most computer literate but, with Handsam, I quickly realised I was in great hands. The team at Handsam are really great – the task list is easy to follow and details my daily/weekly/monthly tasks in a clear format, and if I was unsure of anything – I simply picked up the phone – the team were always on hand to help. If I had to say I could do my job without Handsam – I would be lying! To know there is back up and advice is invaluable. The people I have dealt with are fabulous and really helpful and I cant thank them enough."
Reg - Site Supervisor
"The introduction of the Handsam e-Training Centre is like a lottery win for me!"
Angela - Resources Director

Harbans - Business Manager
“The introduction of Handsam has enabled us to reduce the number of external support agencies we use, by giving us access to resources to manage health & safety for ourselves. The tools available within the software have empowered the site staff in particular, who are now working across the Academy to support teachers and technicians in recording and monitoring health & safety issues more effectively.”
Jacqueline - Business Manager
“We greatly appreciate your continued support of the school and the excellent working relationships that exist between the school and Handsam. Please pass on our grateful thanks to all the staff at Handsam."
Angela - Business Manager
“In my current role as head of sixth form, Handsam makes the organisation of our many visits so easy. I prefer to have a clear process to follow and it particularly ensures that I have not missed anything out. Being able to do all of this electronically and to upload documents simplifies the procedure and saves me a lot of valuable time. In a previous role when I was responsible for design technology, Handsam was invaluable for ensuring that I have carried out all safety checks and risk assessments, giving me reminders when tasks were due and helpful links to supporting documentation, policy and advice. Ensuring that all of this was covered in a timely and accurate manner gave me peace of mind that we were doing all that should be done to ensure the safety of students in practical lessons.”
Rebecca - Head of Sixth Form
“I love the Handsam systems. They make my life easy and help me solve all my problems in one place.”
