While we all hope that critical incidents will never occur, the sad reality is that they do. Our experience over many years, supported by extensive research, shows that well-prepared schools cope better in the event of a critical incident occurring.

This e-learning course has been developed by the National Educational Psychological Service (NEPS) section of the Department of Education.

>This course is designed to support school staff in preparing for and responding to critical incidents.

> The course is based on the 2016 publication ‘Responding to Critical Incidents: NEPS Guidelines and Resource Materials for

Schools’.

> It is aimed specifically at a school’s Critical Incident Management Team, but open to all interested staff.

> The format allows for self­directed, self­paced learning.
