All education settings in Wales have a legal duty to ensure that learners and students have access to a safe learning environment. This includes online safety. Consideration should be given to the safety of staff and visitors.

It is important to have a policy and plan in place to manage and respond to security-related incidents.

Your security policy should complement your safeguarding policy. This is important for any measures you put in place to protect children and young people. It should also address the threat of serious violence. It should form part of your suite of policies to ensure the health, safety and wellbeing of students and staff.

Make sure your staff and students are familiar with your security policy and plan. Senior staff should have an awareness of relevant security networks. They should be able to evaluate and assess the impact of any new initiatives on your security policy and its day-to-day operation.

If a drill is to take place, you should discuss issues with learners sensitively beforehand. You should inform parents and carers so they can provide support at home if necessary.

When considering your plan, you may find it useful to read the following advice and guidance.

Legal responsibilities for security-related incidents

Schools

Responsibility for the health and safety of learners lies with the governing body of the school. This is either as the employer of staff or because it controls the premises (or both). Where the governing body does not employ school staff, the local authority has responsibility as the employer.

Learners are protected by the duties imposed under the Health and Safety Act. This is because they are affected by an employer's undertaking or are using school premises. The legislation requires employers to assess and manage risk and is usually enforced by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) in respect of schools.All schools must have emergency procedures for dealing with rare incidents such as intruders or terrorism.

Childcare settings

Children and staff are protected by the duties imposed under the Health and Safety Act. This is because they are affected by an employer's undertaking. The legislation requires employers to assess and manage risk. It is therefore important for childcare settings to have policies and plans in place to manage and respond to security-related incidents.

Further education institutions

Further education institutions should consider security alongside safeguarding responsibilities and the legal obligations they have as employers. They should ensure that their staff and students are familiar with what is required by their security policy and plan.

They must comply with both of these pieces of legislation:

Security-related incidents, including cyber security incidents, should form part of the operational risk management register and be assessed under business continuity plans.

Cyber security

A cyber security incident can have a profound effect on your setting's ability to function, its reputation and the security of its data.

With the increasing reliance on education technology, it is essential that settings are prepared to minimise any disruption to school operations and have a clear strategy on how to manage a cyber security incident.

This strategy should be a core part of school planning and management arrangements. Cyber security should be considered, and referenced, across the relevant school policies, including safeguarding and security policies. It is also important schools to have an incident management plan in place.

When considering how you will respond to cyber-attacks and what mitigating steps you can take to secure any data that may be at risk, you may wish to consider the following steps in your strategy:

understanding your authentication model and appropriate security controls you have in place

roles, responsibilities and reporting lines in the event of an incident

documented disaster recovery plans.

established processes for remote wiping of end user devices and resetting network and user access credentials

considering the education digital standards for network and data security.

You can access advice and guidance from the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) and the Welsh Government to help you plan, develop and maintain an effective cyber incident response capability.

Cyber incidents related to the national Hwb platform are the responsibility of the Welsh Government and local authorities. Any cyber incident will be managed in accordance with the NCSC advice and procedures, working closely with stakeholders across the education sector. The Welsh Government regularly undertakes health checks to provide assurances that the integrity and availability of Hwb is protected from threats or attempted unauthorised access.

Cyber training resources for staff

Awareness and understanding of cyber security risks and how to ensure devices and services are safe and secure can help reduce the risk of a cyber incident occurring.

This training module produced by the NCSC is designed to support staff to improve their setting's cyber resilience.

Phishing is a common method of cyber-attack and staff can complete a Phishing training module to help them be alert to some of the techniques used by cyber criminals to gain access to devices and services.

There are other training resources, such as the NCSC's Practical tips guide, and also those available on Hwb.

Schools can also use the bilingual 360 Safe Cymru to self-assess their wider online safety provision, while the technology element will help to support the development of your school's cyber security policies.

Post-incident planning

Planning for the aftermath of an event and recognising post-incidence trauma is critical for ongoing care. It is important to recognise stress or PTSD following a traumatic incident. Support is available for school staff who witness or have been involved in traumatic incidents.

TRiM (Trauma Risk Management) is a welfare-led process intended to assess the response of a member of staff exposed to a potentially traumatic incident.

You can find resources and details of this training on the March on Stress website.

Additional advice and support can be sought from the South Wales Trauma Network and the North-West Midlands and North Wales Trauma Network.

Supporting your workforce, children, learners, and students through an emergency

Workforce

Employers have a general legal responsibility to maintain the health and safety and welfare of workers and others attending their premises.

You should be able to explain to your workforce how you will keep them safe at work. Your workplace risk assessment should consider any risks to:

You should discuss concerns with staff.

Further guidance:

Your risk assessments and resulting policies should clearly state any actions that need to be taken in an emergency.

You should also consider how you will maintain communication with families. You should keep them up to date with developments. If possible, you should also provide support, for example providing ideas for activities and work sheets for learners during school closures.

Staff shortages during an emergency

You are best placed to determine the workforce required to meet the needs of children, pupils and students in your setting.

Where you are experiencing staff absences, follow your usual process for covering these. Guidance is available on the effective management of school workforce attendance.

If you are considering changing class arrangements, be mindful of guidance on school capacity and the limits placed on infant class sizes.

The School Admissions (Infant Class Sizes) (Wales) Regulations 2013 limit the size of an infant class to 30 learners per teacher. This is subject to a limited number of exceptions set out in the School admissions code.

Schools and childcare settings must comply with the 'National Minimum Standards for regulated childcare'. During staff shortages, you will need to ensure that you can remain within the requirements of group sizes and the staff-to-child ratio.

The standards apply to:

Further education institutions

FE institutions should remain open and operational for in-person learning where it is safe to do so. Where FE institutions experience staff absences, in the first instance they should follow their usual process for covering absences.

As an FE institution, if some staff cannot get to work, you may want to consider:

Prioritising places

In exceptional circumstances you may need to temporarily prioritise places within the setting. In this case, priority should be given to:

Any remaining spaces can be filled by children outside of these priority groups.

Exceptional circumstances may include a local authority or government-enforced closure in the local or national interest. This does not include bank holidays, but could include:

Recording attendance during an emergency

Schools and settings should keep a record of attendance. Families should notify their school if their child is unable to attend. They should explain the reason for the absence to enable the school to record attendance correctly.

Schools that remain open must continue to record learner absence in the attendance register using the most appropriate code. The code must be in line with the school attendance guidance.

Where learners are unable to attend school:

use code I if learners are ill or have an infectious illness

use code Y if learners are unable to attend in exceptional circumstances, unless a more appropriate code applies

Recording attendance for remote education

You should refer to the guidance on providing remote education. Where a learner is absent but is receiving remote education, you must record this in the attendance register using the most appropriate code. You should continue to keep a record and monitor learners' engagement with remote education. You do not need to formally track this in your attendance register.

Attendance guidance is available. 'Guidance on school attendance codes' sets out the list of attendance codes for use in all schools in Wales

Childcare settings

Childcare and play settings must comply with the 'National Minimum Standards for regulated childcare'. During staff shortages, you will need to ensure that you can remain within the requirements of group sizes and the staff-to-child ratio. The standards also apply to after-school and holidays providers.

Learners with disabilities, special educational needs or additional learning needs

Settings should work with their local authority as well as with parents and carers to support vulnerable young people.

Children and young people who require additional support include learners with:

Schools and local authorities should always work with the family. They should reassure them of the safety measures in place with a view to supporting their return to school. In all circumstances, it is vital the school continues to engage regularly with the learner remotely.

'Keeping learners safe' contains guidance for local authorities and governing bodies on arrangements for safeguarding children.

Safeguarding

Every school and childcare setting must have a safeguarding policy. This policy should be readily available to all staff.

Every local authority in Wales must have a single point of contact for those working with children to raise concerns about a child at risk. Contact details must be included in the safeguarding policy.

Everyone working in a school or registered childcare setting should know how to raise a concern about a child at risk. This is line with the requirements of the National Minimum Standards for regulated childcare. They should be familiar with the:

local authority contact

details of the designated safeguarding person (DSP) within their setting to raise such a concern

Non-registered childcare and play settings are expected to follow the advice in the voluntary code of practice 'Working together to safeguard people'. This includes:

childcare and play sessions

after-school clubs operating under 2 hours

Further advice is available from the Wales Safeguarding Procedures website and your regional safeguarding boards.

Provision of food for learners entitled to free school meals

You should continue to provide meal options for all learners who are in school. Meals should continue to be available free of charge to all learners who are eligible for free school meals under the benefits-related criteria or under the Universal Primary Free School Meal offer.

In the event of an emergency school closure, we would encourage settings to continue to provide free school meals to the eligible learners identified. You should speak to your local authority and school catering team to see whether this is practical or possible. You should also consider the implications of doing so. This will help to ensure that eligible learners continue to be supported for the short period where they are unable to attend school.

You should make sure that you identify learners with any medically prescribed dietary requirements, including allergies. You will need to ensure that all learners are able to eat a school lunch safely. This is particularly important in circumstances where caterers are not serving meals to learners directly, but where, for example, learners are being served food in the classroom.

Wellbeing and support

Maintained education providers must follow statutory guidance on supporting the mental health and wellbeing needs of:

This may also be used by non-maintained providers, including:

There is additional support on implementing the whole-school approach framework, including:

Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS) in-reach support via health boards which provides supervision and guidance to school staff on issues that learners and students present

additional counselling provision, which is available for children and young people, as well as staff

training for school staff to use interventions to support children and young people

additional funding for schools to access therapeutic interventions

online resources for learners, students and staff hosted on Hwb

the 'Young person's mental health toolkit'

guidance for professionals and schools on responding to issues of self-harm and thoughts of suicide in young people

the CALL 24-hour telephone and text message helpline

Social Care Wales' health and wellbeing frameworksets out support for settings and staff.

You should think carefully about how you can communicate with staff and families during a closure. You should agree methods for keeping in touch with staff on a regular basis.

Early years, childcare and play settings

For early years, childcare and play settings, the following can also offer support and guidance:

Further education institutions

Some young people and adults may experience a variety of emotions in response to an emergency situation, such as:

FE institutions have a duty of care to their staff and students. They should provide the necessary support for individuals experiencing wellbeing issues.

HE institutions should work with anxious staff, students and their families to reassure them. Discussions should have a collaborative approach. They should focus on the welfare of the student and respond to the concerns of the parents, carers or students, especially where students are living independently.

We would advise any student in higher education who is experiencing mental or physical health issues to contact their student union. They can help students explore support and welfare services available to them.

Examination and assessment disruption

The Welsh Government works with Qualifications Wales and the WJEC to plan for scenarios where:

An Exam system contingency plan (gov.uk) is available to deal with any major disruption that:

may affect examination candidates

causes a need to implement alternative assessment arrangements

In the event of significant disruption, further advice and support will also be available from the WJEC and Qualifications Wales.

Additional learning needs (ALN) and specialist settings

Statutory guidance on 'Supporting learners with healthcare needs' requires local authorities and education settings in Wales to have a healthcare needs policy in place.

You should ensure that learners with any medical condition are properly supported. You should continue to consult parents and carers about specific support needs and use your discretion flexibly in agreeing the way forward for specific learners.

We would encourage a practical and flexible approach to ensure individual needs are met. You should consider this as part of any risk assessment. For example, timetabling and scheduling one-to-one support over a longer cycle, in order to maintain overall levels of support while minimising close interactions between individuals, may be appropriate.

While schools are not advised to maintain contact groups, we acknowledge that some schools may wish to tailor provision for some learners with ALN. This may be due to specific health needs identified as part of the risk assessment process.

Additional consideration may be needed should:

You may also need to be familiar with the process when different nations or neighbouring local authorities take a different approaches to school closures and emergencies

Residential settings in independent schools and independent specialist post-16 institutions (ISPIs)

We would encourage a practical and flexible approach to ensure individual needs are met. You should consider this as part of any risk assessment. For example, timetabling and scheduling one-to-one support over a longer cycle, in order to maintain overall levels of support while minimising close interactions between individuals.

Statutory guidance on 'Supporting learners with healthcare needs' requires local authorities and education settings in Wales to have a healthcare needs policy in place. These should ensure that students with any medical condition are properly supported. You should continue to consult parents and carers about specific support needs and use your discretion flexibly in agreeing the way forward for specific learners.

We would encourage independent school and ISPI settings, where safe to do so, to continue to care for young people where possible.

Independent schools and ISPIs who are registered with CIW should inform their inspectorate if they temporarily close their residential provision.

The 'Independent schools registration and operational guidance' provides further information for independent schools. The guidance will be updated as part of the work to strengthen the independent school standards regulations.

Learning continuity

During periods of disruption, it is critical that the learning and wellbeing of all children and young people in our schools in Wales is maintained.

All schools in Wales should set out their contingencies for learning continuity. You should include these within your routine business continuity planning or school development plan arrangements.

This will ensure that learning continuity is planned for, and that the impact of any disruption to the learning of children and young people is mitigated.

Our learning continuity planning template and learning continuity guidance provides additional support to schools.
