Compiling your grab kits:

Your setting will already have first aid and fire safety equipment available, as required byyour health and safety and fire risk assessments. You may need to use this equipmentduring the incident.

Grab kits may also be helpful to include additional equipment that may be required duringa terrorism incident response. A grab kit is a selection of essential items that you mayneed during an incident. These should be prepared in advance and left in convenientlocations. Staff should not put themselves in additional danger to collect a grab kit.You should minimise the number of different items that staff need to grab in an incidentand should consider including any communications equipment, useful information, andPublic Access Trauma first aid kits.

Communications equipment

This is equipment that can assist you to communicate with colleagues and/or parents during an incident. Equipment can include electronic devices or utilising written methodsof communication where pen and paper is required in which case, you may want to pack a notepad with some pens and paper in your grab kit.

Where key information and communication apps are stored on devices, you should placea device next to the grab kits so that it is easily accessible. These devices should beplaced on silent. Where key information is held on paper-based records, settings shouldconsider how staff will be able to bring this with them during an incident, wherenecessary.

If using electronic devices, you should remember to include any login details, powercables and supplies are included in the grab kit.

Useful Information

You should consider what useful information you should include in the grab kits andensure that these are kept up to date. Information to include in grab kits should include:• site plans to assist local police.

• attendance registers and visitor logs.

• bomb threat checklist (tailored in advance) and a pen/pencil.
• lockdown/invacuation and evacuation template (completed in advance).
• medication lists, reasonable adjustments or tailored plans particularly for thosewith SEND.

Public Access Trauma first aid kits

The kits are designed to be used by anyone,regardless of their level of first aid training and are usually located in publicly accessiblelocations for people to easily access.

Settings should consider having PAcT kits readily available. There is no duty to makethese available, but you should consider them for your setting. They may need to be keptseparate to other grab kits so that they are publicly accessible.

When compiling your grab kits you should also consider:

• what equipment should be included in the grab kits i.e. pens and paper, bottlesof water etc.
• what equipment should be included for SEND learners i.e. oxygen machines,medications etc.
• the number of kits your setting needs and whether you need separate kits forspecific learners i.e. learners with asthma who need inhalers, learners withanxiety who need safety behaviour equipment
• where these grab kits will be located
