Children are vulnerable and an easy target for violence and as schools are where children assemble, they are also vulnerable. No school can be, or would want to be a fortress.
Although acts of terrorism may be impossible to prevent, schools can develop security strategies to reduce the risk of intrusion and assault. Schools are well-placed to promote an ethos of non-violence, for the well-being of their own members and as a model for the wider community.
Last month the Forum on Children and Violence launched its campaign towards a non-violent society with the first publication of Checkpoints for Schools, which enables schools to audit their existing practices and gives advice on further measures that might be taken.
