the main aspects of student safety and security a school should be aware and practice in their administration and campus are:

It is essential to keep the school environment including the school buildings, premises, playgrounds, laboratories, computer rooms, libraries, toilets, drinking water facilities, school buses, transport area and the surrounding areas safe and secure. School buildings should be built to ensure safety and be more resilient to hazards. When it comes to any catastrophe, whether natural or man-made, the school administration should train staff, teachers as well as students to be better aware and prepared to respond.

Installing CCTV cameras at strategic locations across school premises ensures that a child’s day-to-day life in school is constantly being monitored and recorded. This allows schools to be vigilant and constantly be on the lookout for any forms of child abuse, whether physical or emotional. The staff can then be trained to understand key indicators of child abuse, and be prepared to respond instantly to inappropriate or harmful behaviour.

CCTV cameras installed in key strategic locations across the campus not only provide peace of mind, but also a sense of prevention, preparedness and response. The security cameras can be effective in school safety investigations, or even act as deterrents to such behaviour.
