Our School Safety Plan:

Safety at ST. MARY’S PUBLIC SCHOOL SALEM is a priority. The safety committee, which is a group of Administrators, Teachers and Management team ensures that SMPS School has an organized protocol to deal with any situation on campus.

OBJECTIVES:

MARY’S PUBLIC SCHOOL is committed to implementing the safety measures to ensure that people and children are safe inside the campus. The jurisdiction of this committee shall be preventive as well as curative.

PROCEDURE:

The School Safety Committee has an advisory and consultative function. The Safety Committee meets regularly to review the measures taken to ensure health and safety at work and to promote the effective cooperation of all members of the school. The Committee aims to review all policies and practices and consultative arrangements in the school. Regular review aims to ensure that all safety issues are being addressed and consultative arrangements are effective.

DUTIES:

☛ Teachers are the most important human resource whose positive interventions in generations and maintenance of a safe and conducive academic environment work wonders. The right attitude and owning up the responsibility for smooth functioning of the school can play valuable role.

☛ Every teacher must be made aware of responsibilities as protector of children in his/her custody, and carry out the same with diligence. Teachers are particularly well-placed to observe and monitor children for signs of abuse, to recognize and respond to such abuse. They are the main caregivers to children outside the family and have close contact with children on a regular basis and accordingly can play a key role to prevent/detect abuse.

Responsibilities:

☛ Apart from responsibilities relating to education and imparting knowledge and skills to children, every teacher has additional responsibilities as care-giver to the child.

☛ Unauthorized vendors, carts, shops and other establishments in the immediate area and boundary of schools must be removed.

☛ CCTV surveillances.

☛ ID card is must for all students, teaching and non-teaching staff members.

☛ Staff managing toilets should only be female. No male staff should be present on school premises in support roles like toilet cleaners/ attendants.

☛ In case, children have to stay back for after school activities, there should be a reliable authorized adult in charge, preferably a permanent teacher who takes responsibility to ensure safety of children till the final dispersal.

☛ Absence of students: It is recommended that the school puts in place a system to ensure absence of a child from school is noted early in the day which makes it easier in case of accident/kidnapping. If a child is not attending school, parents must inform the teacher by email or sms not later than 10 minutes after the official start of school.

☛ No entry of plumbers, electricians, carpenters, laborers, etc. is to be permitted on premises during school hours even if a new wing is being constructed, unless it is to attend to an emergency, in which case the person must be accompanied by a school admin. All children must be taught in open classrooms, the doors of which should not be locked under any circumstances.

☛ Ensure safe drinking water.

☛ Fire Safety.

☛ First Aid Kits to be kept in schools to meet out any eventuality.
