Indicators
Welcome to the Home of the International Safe Schools Designation Program
- An infrastructure based on partnership and collaborations, governed by a group of teachers, pupils, technical staff and parents that is responsible for safety promotion in their school; the group should be chaired by a School Board (representative of school policy governance body) representative, with the Headmaster as a co-chair (hereinafter the Safe School Committee);
- Safe School policies decided by the Safe School Committee and Community Council in a Safe Community setting;
- Long-term, sustainable, operational school programs covering both genders and all ages, environments, and situations;
- Programs that target high-risk groups and environments, and programs that promote safety for vulnerable groups;
- Programs are from the Scientific Knowledge Base;
- Programs that document the frequency and causes of injuries – both un-intentional (accidents) and intentional (violence and self-directed);
- Evaluation measures to assess school policies, programs, processes and the effects of change;
- Ongoing participation in Safe Schools networks – at community, national and international levels.
These indicators have been developed by the International Safe Communities and Schools movements with the objective to make the World a better and safer place to live, learn, work and play in.
