Who Does What at Your School? Mapping Safety Roles

QUEST SACE-PW-05-WHO-DOES-WHAT

"I thought someone else had it"

A learner whispers that a Grade 11 boy brings a knife to school. You tell the teacher next door. Each of you assumes the other will tell the deputy. By Friday, nobody who can act knows. 😟

Most safety failures are like this: nobody knew whose job it was. Now map your own school.
