Wellbeing

Process equals Predictability 

Catholic schools have a responsibility to provide a safe and supportive environment for staff, students, and members of the community. The wellbeing of students, staff, and community members can be adversely affected by crisis events or multiple events which require the deployment of staff resources during the academic day. Appropriate planning and intervention can reduce the likelihood of such events and mitigate the impact should a crisis occur.

A critical incident may be defined as an event that causes disruption to an organisation or significant danger or risk, resulting in a situation where staff, students, and parents feel unsafe. 

Critical incidents which may affect the community include:

• Death or serious injury of a student, staff member or school community member
• The destruction of the whole or part of the school
• Death or misadventure on an excursion
• Students witnessing serious injury or death
• Staff member, student, or parent self-harming
• Storm and tempest, otherwise known as a natural disaster
• The terminal illness of a member of the school community
• Use of violent weapons at school
• Outsiders coming into school and being aggressive to students and staff
• Disappearance of a student or staff member or school community member
• Social abuse of students or staff members where safety is compromised
• Major vandalism
• Media coverage of issues which creates concerns in the school community.
