The School Safety Trust Mark Plus mirrors the School Safety Trust Mark, integrating technical verification conducted by SSAI-Approved Assessors. These assessments employ remote verification techniques utilizing widely adopted information and communication technology platforms. This enhancement ensures thorough scrutiny and validation of safety measures, thereby strengthening the credibility and reliability of the certification process. Schools are eligible to pursue the School Safety Trust Mark Plus only after completing a one-year cycle of the Self-Assessment Option under the School Safety Trust Mark program. Schools have the option to maintain their School Safety Trust Mark certification without any obligation to upgrade to the School Safety Trust Mark Plus.
