School Crisis Management

 

School Crisis Management 

Crises often occur suddenly, disrupting one’s usual coping mechanism. A crisis could be triggered by events such as the suicide or self harm behaviour, accidental death and critical injury of a student or staff, as well as violent incidents, natural disasters, etc. Often, it will upset a school’s equilibrium and may trigger emotions in students, parents and school personnel.  School Crisis Management: Handbook of aftermath intervention and psychological support aims at supporting schools to provide appropriate intervention and support services to affected teachers and students during the aftermath of crises. The Handbook introduces the basic principles and operational procedures of crisis intervention and psychological support, provides a framework, roles and functions of the School Crisis Management Team as well as appendices containing checklists, samples of press release and parent letter, reference materials, etc.


The Handbook can be downloaded from this link:

Kindergarten Crisis Management

In general, the crisis reactions and support needs of preschool children may be different from school-age children. The kindergartens can refer to the Reference Book on Aftermath intervention and psychological support on crisis incidents in kindergartens to work out a support plan according to the nature of the crises as well as needs of school personnel, students, parents and kindergartens. This Reference Book also contains samples of press release, parent letter and other reference materials.

The reference book can be downloaded from this link: http://www.edb.gov.hk/attachment/en/student-parents/crisis-management/about-crisis-management/kindergarten/crisisen.pdf
