Schools Advisory Service (SAS) provides a complete staff absence management solution for schools across the UK and is an approved supplier on the DfE-recommended CPC framework. With nearly 30 years of experience exclusively in education, SAS supports over 4,000 schools and academies, offering budget-protected absence insurance alongside market-leading staff and pupil wellbeing services.
SAS has now launched OH+, a modern Occupational Health service designed to help schools and multi-academy trusts take a joined-up approach to staff health, absence, and safe return to work. Developed in response to school feedback, OH+ brings together clinical insight, HR expertise, and wellbeing guidance, making Occupational Health advice easier to interpret and apply.
A key feature is direct access to senior HR professionals working alongside Occupational Health clinicians. Advice is delivered by highly experienced, doctoral-level HR experts to support consistent and defensible decision-making. OH+ also includes flexible, pay-as-you-go ill-health retirement support, available exactly when it’s needed. The service includes unlimited assessments, new-starter screening, follow-up reviews, and integrated wellbeing support, helping schools reduce absence, manage complex cases, and support healthy, high-performing teams.
