An important part of your job as an educator is ensuring that learners can learn, grow and play safely within the school environment. Accidents can happen easily and it’s important to know how to prevent accidents, how to react and respond to safety issues and about the legal implications of accidents or unsafe practices. Creating a safe environment in schools explains the various aspects of safety in the school environment, defines what a safe environment is, looks at who is responsible for the safety of learners and how they can go about creating a safe environment for learners.

Creating a safe environment in schools is part of the Expert Educators series which Macmillan has developed in conjunction with the Macmillan Teacher Campus. This series is aimed at educators who are looking at expanding their knowledge and enhancing their skills.
