School lockdown

Children walkingA school lockdown procedure is intended to help support the safety and welfare of pupils, staff and visitors during any incident that is believed to pose a risk to people within the school.

These can include:

  • access or attempted access by person(s) with malevolent intent
  • volatile behaviour within the school from pupils, staff or visitors
  • sudden severe weather conditions
  • nearby fire or dangerous substance leak
  • dangerous animals within the school grounds or nearby area
  • social unrest outside the school

Developing an effective lockdown procedure will help ensure your school is prepared to respond to these types of incident at any time of the day.
