Physical Safety |
|
It is essential to keep the school environment including the school buildings, premises, playgrounds, laboratories, computer rooms, libraries, toilets, drinking water facilities, school buses, transport area and the surroundings safe and secure. |
|
|
School administration, staff, teachers as well as students need to be better aware and prepared to respond to any catastrophe, natural or man-made. |
|
|
The schools must leverage low cost and environment-friendly technologies without compromising on structural soundness and safety of the buildings. |
|
|
Psychological Safety |
|
|
Just as the physical safety of children in schools is important to ensure complete student safety, so too is their psychosocial safety. |
|
|
Children who are victims of violence show continuous symptoms of depression, and feelings of helplessness even aggression. They should be dealt with sympathetically. |
|
|
Installation of CCTV cameras at strategic locations across school premises at least at the entry and exit points may be considered. |
|
|
The security cameras can be effective in school safety investigations, or even act as deterrents to such behaviour. |
|
|
School Transportation and Road Safety |
|
|
It is the responsibility of school authorities and the teachers to ensure the safety of school children and also to impart the necessary knowledge, skills and attitude to be a safe road user. |
|
|
Teachers should help to develop a responsible attitude towards road use to school children. |
|
|
Teachers should impart essential knowledge about roads and traffic to school children. |
|
|
All school buses should have GPS systems to ensure safe transportation of children to and from schools. |
|
|
Background Verification of Staff |
|
|
When it comes to hiring teachers, administrators and other school staff, there are many good reasons to conduct. |
|
|
Pre-employment background checking of school staff may be conducted by school management for student safety. |
