Rest facilities are required at all schools. Boards must provide rest facilities so that students or teachers who are unwell or injured have a place to rest.
Providing rest facilities (sick bay)
If your school has a roll of:
- fewer than 61 students, you must provide rest facilities in the staffroom or another appropriate place
- 61 students or more, you must have a rest, casualty or isolation room of at least 7m2 — the room must have access to toilet facilities with a hand wash basin with hot and cold water.
