School safety refers to the conditions that allow students to attend school without fear of physical or psychological harm. Safety includes protection from violence, bullying, discrimination, and unsafe environments, as well as the presence of supportive relationships and predictable routines. A safe school environment supports students’ ability to focus on learning, form relationships, and participate in school life. When safety concerns are not addressed effectively, the impact can extend beyond individual incidents, affecting trust in the institution and a student’s willingness to attend school. Maintaining school safety requires both preventative measures and responsive systems that address harm when it occurs.
