Managing and Reporting School Incidents (Including Emergencies)

Stage 6 – Analyse and learn

The department’s Security and Emergency Management Division will undertake regular data analysis of incident reporting and share this with regions.

Incident data analysis includes the monitoring, interrogating and acting on identified trends.

Data informs policy and program support of schools. Analysing data fulfils 3 core objectives, the purpose is to:

  • understand what happened
  • understand why an incident happened
  • inform what can be done to produce better outcomes for student and staff health, safety and wellbeing in the future.
