International Safe Schools have:
1. An infrastructure
based on partnership and collaborations, governed by a group of teachers, pupils,
technical staff and parents that is responsible for safety promotion in
their school; the group should be chaired by a School Board (representative
of school policy governance body) representative, with the Headmaster as a
co-chair (hereinafter the Safe School Committee);
2. Safe School policies
decided by the Safe School Committee and Community Council in a Safe
Community setting;
3. Long-term,
sustainable, operational school programs covering both genders and
all ages, environments, and situations;
4. Programs that target
high-risk groups and environments, and programs that promote safety
for vulnerable groups;
5. Programs that document
the frequency and causes of injuries – both un-intentional (accidents) and
intentional (violence and self-directed);
6. Evaluation
measures to assess school policies, programs, processes and the
effects of change;
7. Ongoing
participation in Safe Schools networks – at community, national and
international levels.
 These indicators have been developed by the
International Safe Communities movement with the objective to make the
World a better and safer place to live, work and play in. Please read more

 The
International Safe Schools Program is part of Peaceful Resources Center in Sedona,
Arizona. The larger Committee has 75 experts from Public Health, Education,
Psychology that are both researchers and practitioners from around the
globe who work to constantly improve the guides, trainings, reviews and
research that International Safe Schools provides.
Additionally, with the diverse needs of global systems of educational
communities in styles of education, languages, local norms and laws, we
have regional Affiliates that adhere to their own set of criteria.
