Safe School Consultancy is based upon a simple philosophy:
There is far more to school safety than gates, cameras, alarms and software
It is Safe School's belief that the plethora of products that safeguard staff, pupils, parents and school property are only half the story. The other half of the story is addressing the factors that lead to the need for these products in the first place. In essence it is all about asking why?
- Why do some pupils engage in vandalism, truancy and theft?
- Why do some pupils bully others?
- Why do some parents threaten staff?
- Why do some pupils make false allegations against members of staff?
- Why do some pupils feel isolated at school and become victims of bullying?
Addressing these questions in the context of school safety will go a long way to creating a suite of more holistic solutions that aim to shift the focus from identifying and punishing towards prevention and cure.
How does Safe School Consultancy answer the above questions?
At Safe School we have actively sought out and engaged the best-of-breed third sector organisations who have councillors that understand the psychology that is behind the negative behaviour in our schools. By bringing these third sector organisations' experience to the table Safe School Consultancy is able to offer its schools a far more holistic solution for their security and behavioural strategies.
