Audit Violence in Your School
Why this matters
Every staffroom has a feeling about safety: "it's getting worse", "it's only the Grade 9s", "it's fine here". Feelings are a starting point, but you cannot plan with them.
An audit turns the feeling into a picture: what happens, to whom, how often, where and when. A picture can be compared, discussed and taken to the people who can change things. 📋
Pass the challenge and it arrives straight away as a PDF. Add it to your CV or LinkedIn, and anyone can check it's real.

Audit Your Own Classroom: Are You Meeting Your Responsibilities?
14 min · Free
Work through the conflicts that actually happen in your classroom and at your gate, compare two ways of handling each, and prepare your own room and plan before the next one.
Walk your school grounds, mark safe and unsafe places and the times they turn risky, pick the hotspot that matters most, and write one practical fix you can take to your SMT.
Apply risk and protective factors to three case learners and to your own school — spotting what adds risk, what already protects, and what the school can do — without labelling any child.
Three paired classroom cases — a phone stand-off, a break-time fight, a learner who swears at you. Compare an escalating response with a professional one and learn to name exactly why one is better.
Learn to notice the signs that a learner or a conflict is heading towards violence, what to do with each sign, and write a one-page safety plan for your own class.

Toolbox talks, inductions, refreshers and revision that people finish, because each one fits in a tea break and runs on the phone they already carry.
Need a topic we don't have? Request it. The topics people ask for most are the ones we write next.
Your people get a WhatsApp message or an email link and learn on their own phones. No logins to manage.
Print an A4 poster for the canteen, staffroom or site office. A scan opens the MicroQuest.
Every completion has a numbered certificate you can check online, which is useful for toolbox talks and inductions.
skillSYMS clients publish their own MicroQuests (policies, site rules, product knowledge) for their own people.
