Emergency Safety Audit
Making Our School Safer
Students act as a School Safety Audit Team. With teacher guidance, they investigate risks through observations, interviews, and surveys, analyse the evidence, and prioritise practical improvements for their school.
How can we investigate emergency risks in our school and design practical actions to make it safer for everyone?
