School Safety Concerns In India: An Insight

Abstract

The most significant substantial endeavour for preventing teenage violence and enhancing mental health is shown to be in a holistic strategy for school safety, which incorporates the best scientific resources and knowledge with good implementation strategies. This approach is repeatedly found to offer the most significant potential. However, schools and communities have great hurdles when defining, synthesising, and implementing the many parts of a holistic strategy for school safety. The terminological difference between “Security” and “Safety” is thoroughly discussed here, focusing on the policies and legislations led by the Government of India to safeguard school-going students. This study seeks to close the gap between scientific data and its practical application in schools and communities by outlining the essential elements of a comprehensive strategy for school safety and providing schools with a framework to evaluate their readiness to adopt such an approach. Detailed implementational strategies are suggested to further a comprehensive and holistic approach to effectively implementing school safety and security measures.
