The National School Safety Framework (NSSF) provides an important instrument through which minimum standards for safety at school can be established, implemented and monitored, and for which schools, districts and provinces can be held accountable. The Framework is premised on the assumption that each person in the school experiences safety in different ways, and has different safety needs, and it provides schools with the tools to identify what these experiences are, and the steps that need to be taken to address individual needs.
