At the new 24/7 crisis centre, Education Department staff can connect to CCTV cameras at some schools and watch incidents unfold in real-time in a large room with floor-to-ceiling screens

Violence and aggression in Victorian state schools has led to crisis teams monitoring emergency incidents from a secret, high-security bunker in Melbourne CBD.

The relatively unknown Incident Support and Operations Centre, located near Spring Street, opened in November as part of a $8.9 million state government package to tackle to aggression and violence in Victorian schools. Education Minister James Merlino said the department was working with police, child protection and welfare agencies to stabilise incidents and address the underlying causes of challenging behaviour.“We want to ensure that principals and teachers receive support as they handle situations arising at their school – from student welfare issues to natural disasters,” he said.

The taskforce’s final report warns against relying on suspension to discipline students who have engaged in violent behaviour.
