School Safety Forum
Description
Prevention, Preparedness, Response and Recovery in Education
The School Safety Forum is a 2 day professional event designed specifically for education leaders, school administrators, wellbeing staff and safety professionals working across schools and education settings.
With growing concerns around violence, hostile threats, online harm and student wellbeing, education settings are facing increasingly complex safety challenges. This forum brings together education leaders, law enforcement, researchers, psychologists and safety specialists to share practical strategies that strengthen the ability of schools and universities to prevent, prepare for, respond to and recover from hostile threats and violent incidents.
Delivered in person from Club Parramatta in NSW, the forum combines expert keynotes, panel discussions and real life case studies to provide education professionals with actionable tools to improve safety across their setting.
