Be You – headspace schools and communities (Be You) is a national service that helps schools prepare for, respond to, and recover from the impact of critical incidents.
A critical incident review lets your school reflect on the situation and review the response to ensure that system improvements can be identified, actioned and reported to the Coroner’s Office.
The learnings may help your school prepare for future events. It may also be helpful to other schools.
Feedback can also be given to the services and business units that provide guidance and support to schools around critical incidents.
