The Sustainable Schools SEMP builder is an on-line tool that asks a series of questions. Your responses to those questions gradually build and cross reference to form your School Environmental Management Plan. You can save (or print) the plan and return to amend it at any time. Access to your on-line plan is by password only and the school can restrict access to the school's password and therefore to the SEMP.
