We've been around for a while.
Over the past decade we have sought to improve the evidence base and the quality of approaches to risk reduction education and school safety. Here are just a few of our projects.
Community Based School Constructions
Risk RED, in partnership with Save the Children-Australia, the Global Facility for Disaster Reduction and Recovery, UNESCO, and Arup International Development, developed a manual on a community-based approach to building safer schools. The document draws on field experts from around the globe.
First Step School Assessment App
Risk RED has developed two tablet- and smart-phone based apps as part of the Comprehensive School Safety Assessment Suite. The first tool introduces users to school safety and can be used to build public awareness. Education authorities can review and analyze this crowd sourced results to under stand community perceptions and plan interventions.
Safer School Construction Videos
Risk RED and Save the Children, and with funding from the Global Facility for Disaster Reduction and Recovery, has developed a series videos that highlight the stages and steps in community-based safer school construction, showcasing safer school projects from Latin America, West Africa, South and Southeast Asia. The videos, guidance and case studies support the saferschoolconstruction.com website.
