School safety audit according to ČSN 73 4400 and MŠMT 2024 - GBH Academy

The school management should see the weak spot before the attacker

An audit is not a style report. On site we check inputs, routes, classes, documentation and how people react.

Both the director and the founder will receive an overview of weak points, priorities and next steps.

Object, not just documents.

Risks by impact.

Output for decision.

The audit is conducted by former members of URNA and SOG. References: Czech Radio, National Theatre, ombudsman, AV CR.
