Keep documenting actions

On this page

A member of your school’s emergency response team must document the school’s postvention actions.

The main reason to document is to help the school prepare for a critical incident review.

If you have one person responsible for documentation this makes sure actions are not lost.

Your documentation is a record you can use for urgent information requests.

Ensure records are controlled and stored in one secure location.

Evidence of your actions

Types of documents include:

  • circulars
  • letters
  • notices
  • minutes
  • personal notes
  • audio files
  • emails
  • reports
  • journals
  • critical incident review notes and recommendations.
