Comprehensive School Safety

comprehensive-school-safety-framework

Purpose:

This framework provides a comprehensive approach to reducing risks from all hazards to the education sector. The past decade has brought children’s advocates together:

  • To promote disaster risk reduction (Hyogo Framework for Action 2005-2015) throughout the education sector along with education for sustainable development (International Decade for Education for Sustainable Development)
  • To assure universal access to quality basic education in a safe environment (Millennium Development Goals, Education for All, Global Partnership for Education, Education First, Global Coalition to Prevent Education from Attack).
  • To incorporate risk reduction into Millennium Development Goals for education. At the core of these child-centered, child-participatory, and evidence-based efforts is the recognition of children’s rights to survival and protection as well as to education and participation.

The purpose of this Comprehensive School Safety Framework is to bring these efforts into a clear and unified focus in order for education sector partners to work more effectively, and to link with similar efforts in all other sectors at the global, regional, national and local levels.

Overview:

A global framework in support of The Global Alliance for Disaster Risk Reduction and Resilience in the Education Sector and The Worldwide Initiative for Safe Schools.

Usage: Guideline for implementation

Target: National Societies

School Safety Lessons Learnt Workshop | 17-18 February 2016 | Vientiane, Lao PDR

Lao Red Cross has implemented a wide range of activities in schools in the past years in partnership with government, PNSs as well as Civil Society Organizations. This includes activities in Disaster Risk Reduction and Health which all contribute to creating safe leaning environments for children. Recognizing children as agents of change, there is also an opportunity to invest in their potential to reach wider communities and enhance community safety and resilience in the country.

Since 2014, Lao Red Cross is also a consortium partner of a DIPECHO-funded project which includes school-based activities under the technical leadership of Save the Children. LRC is leading the implementation of school activities in Khammuane province, also based on previous experience in that province, as well as Savannakhet and Salavan provinces, working hand in hand with the Ministry of Education and Sports to mainstream DRR into school curriculum.

Lao Red Cross organized the School Safety lessons learnt workshop on 17-18 February 2016 in Vientiane, Lao PDR, for in-country partners to:

  • share about their good practices
  • identify gaps in promoting school safety
  • discuss potential future collaboration.
Presentations in [different languages]: Please note that as the workshop was conducted in Lao and Thai languages, most of the presentations are not in English.

Orientation workshop agenda

Purpose: The orientation workshop with the participants from National Societies was held over two days to develop an understanding on the basic approach towards School Safety based on the evolved model of School Based Disaster Risk Reduction (SBDRR) so that the National Societies will develop basic road map for implementation of school safety in the country context.
