About the Toolkit Ministries of Education should adapt the Model Safe School Programme Policy. Step 1 Assess schools by applying the Safe Checklist and the Green Checklist. Step 2 Analyse results of the assessments. If a school does not achieve a score of 80%, make recommendations for addressing the deficiencies that have identified. Proceed to Step 4. If the Schools score 80% or higher, move to Step 5. Step 3 Model Safe School Programme Training October 3-6, 2017, Saint Lucia 4
About the Toolkit Use the Improvement Plan template to create a plan of action for implementing the recommendations. The Improvement Plan will make the schools safer and greener and should aim to help schools achieve a higher score. Consult the additional resources provided (Section 4), if necessary. Step 4 Ensure that the school has an up-to-date Emergency/Disaster Plan and conduct exercises/drills to test the Plan. The Model Emergency/Disaster Plan template should be used as the standard and can be customised for each school. Step 5 Re-inspect/re-assess school and certify as safe and/or green, if school achieves a score of 80% or above. Ideally certification should be valid for a period of three (3) years. Safe school assessments should be conducted every three (3) years. If school does not achieve 80%, continue to implement Improvement Plan until desired goal of 80% is reached.
