Challenge:

​

The COO wanted to ensure members of the school’s Senior Leadership Team were familiar with the school’s Critical Incident Plan and the challenges inherent under Martyn’s Law.

​

They approached AI Schools to deliver a cost-effective and focused, personal development training session.

​

Solution:

​

In a 2-hour training session, delivered via video conferencing, participants were exposed to:

​

• Critical Incident Pathway & Taking Control - the role of a Critical Incident Management Team and the common mistakes made in the Golden Hour were considered. How a Critical Incident Management Team differs from an SLT was explored and the practicalities of getting coordinated activity underway and issues that prevent this were highlighted.
   

• Lockdown / Shelter-In - key elements and procedures needed for an effective shelter-in procedure irrespective of size or layout of school were considered. 
   

• Tabletop Scenario - An evolving scenario was used to explore each of the four phases of a critical incident pathway, helping participants analyse what is needed in each phase and where gaps in Martyn’s Law requirements existed.

​

Result:

​

​“Thank you very much for the exceptional session, it is rare these days to get a training session in which you are fully engaged for the entirety of the session wanting more, on this occasion it really was the case.”
