EdSafe Staff modules
Helping staff implement school safety action requirements
Most schools have safety policies, systems and programs in place, but translating safety directions into practice can be difficult when staff workloads are high, risks are complex and resource support is difficult to access. EdSafe Staff helps bridge the gap by providing focused and practical implementation support for staff on whom the safety of school activities and people depends.
Notable features of EdSafe Staff modules
-
'Bolt on' to existing school safety governance and compliance systems, or 'stand alone'
-
Customised and serviced to suit members' current and evolving safety needs
-
Function to help staff put essential and current school safety requirements into practical action
-
Exclusive to ESN members
Typical EdSafe Staff content streams include:
Relevant school safety updates help school leaders and staff keep up to date knowledge of workplace health and safety matters.
Set in consultation between the school and ESN, Safety Focus enables staff action on current school safety priorities and eases administrative burden by providing the specific information and tools that will support staff action on the issues and risks currently in focus.
Brief summaries and links to legal cases involving schools in which serious and sometimes fatal incidents occurred highlight lessons to be learned and thoughts to consider for application in the school.
Providing a look-up collection of short work and curriculum activity safety guides and hazard factsheets, giving frontline staff accessible, just-in-time safety reference material for work and lesson planning and safety management.
Equipping students undertaking higher-risk activities, VET studies, or work experience helps them recognise and respond safely to known hazards and risks, and take responsible care for their own and other people's safety.
Providing ready access to basic hazard and risk identification, assessment and control tools helps staff guide the safety of the school activities they are proposing, undertaking or supervising, and gives them just-in-time support for work and learning activity risk management and safety.
