Programme Intent — why this curriculum exists

🎯
Purpose
To equip construction workers and trainees with the knowledge, understanding and practical awareness of health, safety and environmental responsibilities required to work safely on UK construction sites, pass the CITB HS&E Test and obtain their CSCS card.
📚
Curriculum ambition
The curriculum goes beyond test preparation. It develops genuine understanding — learners can apply knowledge on-site, not just recognise answers. Every section builds from prior knowledge (DYU), through animated understanding, to independent recall (Write It Down), to demonstrated application (questions + mock).
🔗
Coherent sequencing
Topics are sequenced to build from legal framework → personal protection → physical hazards → fire/electrical → height → health. Each builds on the last. TILE (manual handling) connects to risk assessment (responsibilities). Fire triangle connects to COSHH (health hazards).
🌍
Preparing for life and work
Learners develop behaviours — right to refuse unsafe work, duty to report, STOP WORK on asbestos — that protect them and colleagues throughout their working lives, not just on test day.

British Values, SMSC & Safeguarding Mapping
ThemeWhere addressed in this programme
DemocracyLearners have a voice — DYU check surfaces prior knowledge. Tutor adapts session based on learner responses. Consultation built into delivery model.
Rule of LawSession 1 — HSAWA 1974, RIDDOR, CDM 2015 as legal frameworks. Understanding that H&S law protects everyone and applies equally. HSE enforcement discussed.
Individual LibertySession 5 — legal right to refuse unsafe work at height. Session 1 — right and duty to report near misses. Learners understand their rights cannot be overridden.
Mutual Respect & TolerancePPE rules apply to ALL workers equally. CITB test available in 14 languages — inclusive approach to diverse workforce. EAL support built in.
SafeguardingAsbestos — STOP WORK procedure protects learners from life-threatening exposure. Right to refuse unsafe work. Reporting near misses protects colleagues. Occupational health hazards (HAVS, silicosis) — prevention emphasis protects learners' long-term health.
PreventAwareness of worker exploitation — PPE must be provided free, cannot be charged to workers. Right to refuse unsafe work without detriment. Signs of unsafe working practices.
SMSC — SocialTeam responsibility for site safety. Reporting near misses protects colleagues. Site manager and employee shared duty.
SMSC — MoralThe moral duty to report hazards even when inconvenient. Asbestos stop-work as a moral imperative. The right thing vs the easy thing.

Write It Down — Tutor Protocol (OFSTED Outstanding Practice)

👨‍🏫 What to do with Write It Down evidence — before, during and after the session

1
Before the session — review previous Write It Down reports
If learners completed a previous session, read the emailed reports. Note which blanks were wrong and which free notes showed misconceptions. Plan your session starter questions around these gaps — this is evidence of responsive teaching.
5 mins prep
2
During the session — circulate and read Write It Down notes live
Walk around and glance at free notes as learners write. If you spot a misconception, address it with the group immediately: "I can see a few people have written [incorrect idea] — let's clarify that now." This is responsive teaching in real time.
Ongoing
3
During the session — use the Tutor Feedback panel in the platform
After each section completes, complete the Tutor Feedback panel: select understanding level (🟢🟡🔴🔵), choose next action, and optionally copy a ready-made starter question into notes. This takes 60 seconds per learner and creates OFSTED-quality responsive teaching evidence.
60 sec per section per learner
4
After the session — read emailed reports and plan next contact
Each My Report email contains every section score, all Write It Down notes, and your Tutor Feedback entries. File these. Use them to open the next session: "Last time you wrote [their words] — can you tell me more?"
2–3 mins per learner
🟢 Strong understanding
All blanks correct. Free notes detailed, accurate, in own words. Offer stretch task: design a TILE assessment for a real workplace task.
🟡 Partial understanding
Most blanks correct. Notes brief or vague. Target the specific missing concept in the next session opener. One focused question is enough.
🔴 Significant gap
Multiple blanks wrong. Notes minimal. Replay animation together. Pause at the step they missed. Complete Write It Down in session with support.
🔵 EAL / SEND
Notes in another language or very brief. Discuss verbally. Note on ILP. CITB test available in 14 languages — arrange appropriate version.
