Contacting Parents, Caregivers and Family in the event of an Emergency

All communication systems, dependent on electrical power or telephone lines can be assumed to be disrupted. Therefore:

• Children will NOT be released to leave the school with another person or alone, until the Police advise the areas is safe
• Children will NOT be released from the school unless a parent or emergency contact person comes for their child. All uncollected children will remain in the care of the staff until handed to Civil Defence or other suitable authorities ie Police or C.Y.F
• To provide the necessary support to children and staff remaining after 4pm, it may be necessary to close the school and take those remaining to the nearest designated Welfare Centre.
