Safer School Initiative (see below for link to online survey)
The Safer School initiative, created by West Mercia Police and supported by Shropshire Council, is a school security initiative that encompasses personal safety.
As part of our Safer School accreditation, we survey parents annually about our school grounds/site. The responses are reviewed and discussed at a Safer School meeting with school representatives.
The essential elements of the package are as follows: –
- Implement basic security measures applicable at all schools i.e. property marking, and visitor passes etc.
- Consider pro-active security/safety measures for the site/building and/or protecting assets.
- Establish a procedure for recording incidents i.e. anti social behaviour, vandalism etc. Any recorded information can then be analysed. In addition, the same recording procedure can be used for surveying a problem i.e. an unauthorised thoroughfare.
- If there are any projects to be undertaken, they are prioritised. Following the implementation of a project, the success of it is reviewed.
- PSHE or education of pupils as per the Safer School pack.
