Comprehensive School Safety

One of the most important contributions to school safety at the global level is the development and promotion of the Comprehensive School Safety Framework. School safety was identified as a priority in the Hyogo Framework for Action 2005-2015 (HFC) and the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction (RSSFR) 2015-2030.

The Comprehensive School Safety framework aims to reduce the risks of all hazards to the education sector. It aims to provide clear and focused guidelines that will strengthen the coordination and networks for resilience, from local to national, regional, and international levels. At the same time, improve children’s safe access to quality, inclusive, and integrated basic education.

Comprehensive school safety is addressed by education policy and practices aligned with disaster management at national, regional, district, and local school site levels. It focuses on three pillars:

Safe Learning Facilities
School Disaster Management
Risk Reduction and Resilience Education

Multi-hazard risk assessment is the foundation of planning for Comprehensive School Safety. Ideally, this should be significant for Educational Management Information Systems at public, subnational, and close by levels. The three pillars are closely aligned to national, subnational, and local disaster management plans. It is part of the broader analysis of education sector policy and management. The framework provides evidence-based information for planning and action.

The Goals of Comprehensive School Safety:

To protect students and educators from death, injury, and harm in schools
To develop a plan for educational continuity in light of expected hazards
To safeguard education sector investments
To strengthen risk reduction and resilience through education
