A member of leadership supporting the incident can also contribute to the report.

This will include an offer for staff to undertake a debrief with a member of the leadership team and other support, for example, a review of the Behaviour Support Plan (BSP), educational program review and environmental factors.

OHS INDUCTION

At the beginning of this year, all JSA staff underwent Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) training. If you haven't taken part in any OHS training this year or during your time at JSA, please get in touch with me. Additionally, if you'd like a refresher, feel free to reach out.

Some of the reasons why we conduct an OHS induction:

• Safety Awareness

• Legal Compliance

• Risk Reduction

• Emergency Preparedness
