Statement of intent

The Department of Education and Training (DET) is committed to providing a safe, secure and supportive learning environment for its students and school community. This commitment includes welfare of staff and students and protection of property, resources and information.

Security-related incidents can involve significant consequences and impact school operations and ultimately, learning outcomes. It is therefore critical that school communities identify and manage risks in an efficient manner. DET will provide schools with advice and support to achieve best practice in security management, with solutions that are innovative, suit the diverse needs of schools and can function within operational, financial and policy constraints.

School Security focuses on increasing the ability of the physical asset to restrict or reduce crime. See Key Principles for further information.
