Safety Policy
An emergency or critical incident is an abnormal or dangerous situation that occurs infrequently, requires immediate attention, and may be unpredictable in terms of the timing, nature and the extent of the situation. Examples of situations that may lead to an emergency situation and therefore require a calm, prepared, effective response, include (but are not limited to):
Fire;
A severe storm or flood (where the building’s structure is at risk);
Where the children, educators and staff are at risk from an inside attack, i.e., a non-custodial parent wishing to harm others;
Where the children, educators and staff are at risk from outside attack, i.e., a stranger not known to the Centre wishing to pose a potential threat.;
A hazardous spill/gas leak;
A bomb threat;
A hold up;
An earthquake;
A terrorist attack;
A serious vehicle accident at the front of the Centre.
