Critical Incidents, Response & Recovery Plan for Schools in Torbay

The Critical Incidents, Response & Recovery Plan for Schools is intended to provide guidance and a response and recovery plan for use when a critical incident occurs in a school which is likely to cause:

Immediate or delayed emotional reactions in large numbers of staff, pupils and parents, surpassing their normal coping mechanisms

and/or
Serious disruption to the running of the school

and/or
Significant public/news media attention on the school

The aim of this plan is to encourage and support pre-planning to help reduce the impact of an incident, and provide a pre-planned course of basic actions.
