School Emergency Lockdown and Evacuation Plan

A school emergency lockdown plan and evacuation plan for primary and secondary schools, kindergartens, early learning centres and outside school hours care. It gives each response its own signal and action steps, covers students with additional needs and reunification with families, and records drills and recovery so the school’s emergency plan stays effective under WHS Regulation s 43. It sits beside the school’s fire evacuation plan and does not replace it.
