Critical Incident Information

A Critical Incident is a sudden, unexpected event that is distressing to pupils and/or staff.  For example, it may involve violence against members of the school, a serious accident or the sudden death of a child or teacher (all the more traumatic if witnessed by others), or it could be that the school is subjected to major vandalism – such as an arson attack.

 

Leaflets about dealing with critical incidents for parents and carers of both younger and older children and for schools can be downloaded below.
