Empowering your cleaners

Albany Healthy Schools’ aim is to support cleaning in schools with specialist consultancy and training to empower your cleaners to deliver high standards of cleaning.

The services, from which you will benefit, include a cleaning review with customised recommendations containing cleaning specifications suited to your school environment. Furthermore, we will raise the self esteem and morale of your cleaning team through the provision of on-the-job hygiene education and cleaning training programmes with optional vocational qualifications.

You will also receive advice on resource needs, including cleaning equipment and supplies, to support effective and sustainable school cleaning practices.

We recognise the valuable role cleaners play in the day-to-day running of a school and that many schools wish to retain a degree of control over their school cleaning standards and do not wish to use outsourced contract cleaning.

Our cleaning services include:

  • Essential health & safety
  • Cleaning specifications
