Officer (SASSCO) for students. These officers are trained to provide support to students who have experienced bullying, sexual harassment and racism.
While most incidents are appropriately managed at the school level, the Education Directorate supports schools to manage incidents when required, for example through the work of the School Improvement Group, which includes the Directors, School Improvement.
Schools can also seek additional support and expertise when they are working with students with complex and challenging behaviour. These specialist resources include occupational therapists, psychologists, behaviour experts and social workers. They are located within the Student Engagement Branch.
The People and Performance Branch is available to assist support all Education Directorate staff, including school based staff, about matters that impact on staff health or wellbeing.
Families are also able to raise concerns directly with the Directorate’s Families and Students, Complaints and Feedback team, located within the Governance and Community Liaison Branch, either by telephone or online form, which are acknowledged, and responses/actions are coordinated with appropriate teams.
(2) Required reporting for incidents is determined by the incident. Examples include:
• Where an incident involves staff injury, incident details are reported in the whole-of-government Riskman reporting system.
• Where an injury in a preschool system occurs, incident details are reported in the National Quality Agenda IT system.
• Where a student injury occurs, base data is provided to the Directorate’s Governance and Community Liaison Branch and the ACT Insurance Authority.
• School-level reporting of incidents occurs in a variety of ways including paper-based and the Directorate’s legacy administration system MAZE. Schools are transitioning to Sentral the new School Administration System.
(3) Please see response to question 2.
(4) Schools conduct follow up to incidents which may involve the classroom teacher, teacher on duty, SASSCOs, the school psychologist or executive staff. Where necessary, schools can access additional support through the Network Student Engagement Teams.
(5) As previously identified (Q1) incidents are investigated, managed and resolved by different teams depending on the type of incident. The relevant team is responsible for ensuring all actions identified to manage and resolve the incident have been completed prior to finalisation. The People and Performance branch further supports all schools by reviewing each RiskMan report and providing assistance, follow up and escalation when required.
