3 1. Introduction 1.1 The aim of this policy is to lessen the effect of a critical incident on the staff, students and parents at Riddlesdown Collegiate and to ensure that critical activities continue to be delivered. It is anticipated that by adopting the procedures outlined in this policy it will be possible to provide a more secure environment for everyone associated with the Collegiate. 1.2 A critical incident is one which arises suddenly. Critical incidents may occur in or out of the Collegiate, but both types will have a major impact on staff and students. An incident might be designated as critical where the result is likely to be serious disruption to the running of the Collegiate, or where there is likely to be significant public and/or media attention on the Collegiate. 2. Examples of in-collegiate Critical Incidents A serious or fatal accident to a student or member of staff The death of a student or member of staff through natural causes, such as an illness A traffic accident involving a student or staff member Violence or assault within the collegiate (Including threats) A fire or explosion Destruction of part of the Collegiate building Abduction of a student / member of staff or a hostage situation Attempted suicide An illness such as meningitis within the Collegiate or the local community / Legionella outbreak Flood or utilities failure Severe weather Sexual offences Threat of terrorist attack or bomb hoax Possession of offensive weapon or firearm Intruder(s) on site. Serious traffic accident Chemical escape / gas leak. 3. Examples of out-of-collegiate Critical Incidents An accident to a student or staff while out of the Collegiate on a visit or sporting activity etc. Death or serious injury to a member of the Collegiate community Tragedies involving children from many schools, e.g. the tragedy at Hillsborough Football Ground Page 3 of 11
4 Civil disturbances 4. Support Agencies and Personnel A list of significant contacts and telephone numbers is included as an appendix to this document.

5 5. Practice within the Collegiate 5.1 Governors will work with the Principal to provide strategic direction in planning for and responding to critical incidents and to ensure continuity in the delivery of services to students. 5.2 Individual class teachers and Tutors have an important role to play in managing critical incidents and may well be the best people to deal with the students in their classes. The main role of specialist agencies is to provide support beyond the level offered by the Collegiate e.g. bereavement counselling. By outlining the appropriate actions to be taken in the event of a critical incident, the Collegiate aims to reduce the effect. 6. Critical Incidents Team 6.1 A central component of this policy is the identification of the composition, roles and responsibilities of the Critical Incidents Team, more information on the roles is contained in Appendix B. The role of the team is to review and direct the handling of the incident and the response and recovery process in order to: ensure the safety and security of the whole Collegiate community minimize the loss to the Collegiate in physical, human and financial terms; manage an incident to minimize disruption to regular operations; Liaise with appropriate agencies, including the Media. The Critical Incidents Team will comprise the following personnel: (Appendix A), detailed information on each role can be found in Appendix B. Principal & Deputy Principal Business Manager Senior Leadership Team The Collegiate designated Child Protection Officer Collegiate Senior Caretakers 6.2 The Critical Incidents Team will, dependent upon the nature of the incident itself, be concerned with any of the following issues: business Continuity adequate assessment of hazards and situations which may require emergency action; analysis of requirements to address these hazards; establishment of liaison with all relevant emergency services; development of an effective management plan; dissemination of planned procedures; organisation of practice drills to test the plan; Page 5 of 11
6 regular review of this plan at the appropriate TRUST Committee; assisting the Principal with all aspects of the implementation of the plan; arranging staff development activities, where necessary. 7. Procedures during an incident The Principal or Deputy Principal must be informed of any critical incident as soon as possible. As soon as an incident is confirmed, the Critical Incidents Team will meet to decide strategies. The rest of the staff will be informed as soon as possible. All staff should share the same information. Students will be told information simply and sensitively, without fabrication, preferably in smaller group situations. The Collegiate will try, as far as possible, to keep to the normal routine. 8. Action Plan Major incidents require the following procedures:- Office area to be used for enquiries must be isolated from the incident. Set up a communication network. Convene the Critical Incidents Team. Inform immediately the Chair of Governors / CEO / Chair of the Trust / Croydon Council Education Department and any other appropriate Officers. Collect, record and convey as much accurate information as possible. Identify two telephonists to staff: Collegiate phone for incoming calls mobile phone for outgoing information/staff use. Use the up to date list of students' next of kin (record files) and contact parents of affected children. Record all actions record book. Principal, alone, to act as 'press officer'. Refusal of access to press/television to Collegiate premises. Page 6 of 11
