Work-Related Violence in Schools

5. Incident reporting

The principal or their delegate must ensure all hazards, incidents and injuries are reported in accordance with the department’s Managing and Reporting School Incidents (Including Emergencies) policy, including reporting on eduSafe Plus (staff login required).

For staff who have sustained an injury as a result of work-related violence, the principal or delegate must record as actions on eduSafe Plus details of any workplace modifications and supports that are provided for employees who are exposed to work-related violence and aggression, particularly those who are repeatedly exposed.

For support with incident reporting and management, contact the Statewide OHS Services Team.

Where a principal is reporting an incident of work-related violence that affects them this will be managed by the appropriate regional staff member, for example, the SEIL. When making a report on eduSafe Plus, the default workplace manager is the regional director, who will delegate the incident to the appropriate SEIL.

For additional support, principals can contact their SEIL.

Alternatively, principals can contact the Statewide OHS Services Team for their region.
