Key document outlining principles to underpin response to a critical incident in early years, schools and further education settings.
Critical Incidents in Educational Communities
We consider that a critical incident is an event that is potentially traumatic, and affects a large part, or the whole of an educational community, rather than just one or two individuals. Such events are likely to cause many adults and children distress and may threaten to overwhelm their capacity to cope.
Informed by research and best practice, these resources support educational communities in providing a comprehensive and compassionate response to traumatic events that affect children and young people in their care.
