INTRODUCTION
As educators, as parents, as citizens,
we know that young people do better at school and in life if they attend
schools where they feel welcome and safe.
Students and educators must feel safe in school to
create an optimal learning and teaching environment. Creating a safer school
must take into account emotional and physical safety and security, and the
school building and its infrastructure plays a vital role in both areas.
Incorporating advanced security technology that bolsters security to create
safer schools requires modernization and new construction plans designed to
help prevent, intervene, mitigate and recover from the variety natural,
physical, social and technological threats to the school and community.
Many schools are already being
proactive in ensuring they have school policies and implement other activities
that create safe and inclusive school environments, and other schools may be on
that journey.
Forum of Safe Schools (FoSS) program contains research, ideas and strategies on how school
can become Safe School – so that school can ensure they are doing everything
possible in providing a welcoming and inclusive school experience for all
students, their families, and staff.

School should be the safest place for a child besides
home. As policy makers, regulatory bodies, school-administers, civil societies,
judiciaries, we want “school safety” norms properly implemented across the
country that include the critical and necessary environment in which effective
teaching and learning can take place. School safety supports student
learning by creating and promoting a physically, emotionally, socially, and
academically secure climate for students, staff, and visitors.
