Emergency Management

Schools and staff have a duty of care to students, other staff and visitors to ensure that they are kept safe from harm. 

The Victorian Registration and Qualifications Authority’s (VRQA) Minimum Registration Requirements lists a range of evidentiary material in respect of student welfare, including the school’s emergency management plan, which must be reviewed annually.   This duty can be seen to extend to taking reasonable steps to identify, assess and manage risks, and reasonable steps to plan, prepare, respond and recover in an emergency.
