DfE releases guide on good estate management for schools

The ‘Good estate management for schools’ (GEMS) guidance allows schools to assess their current arrangements and identify where improvements can be made.
It covers issues ranging from guidance on health and safety management to advice on how to minimise energy and water usage.
It also includes a set of self-assessment questions to help headteachers and governing boards to gauge where they are doing well and which areas require more attention.
There is also information on the important policies and processes that schools should have in place, guidance on how to plan estate projects, and tips on making the most of property assets.
