Rethinking School Safety: Beyond Cameras, Rules & Compliance | The Educator’s Table

Can CCTV cameras and rules alone make our schools truly safe? Or does real child safety begin with trust, awareness, emotional security and responsible leadership? In this meaningful episode of The Educator’s Table, Karuna Yadav is in conversation with Sunaina Tourangbam of NCSS National Council of School Safety and Security during GSLC Leadership Conversations at SPARC DEUX 2026, exploring a deeper perspective on school safety. School safety is not only about infrastructure, surveillance systems or compliance checklists. It is about creating an environment where every child feels protected, respected, valued and heard. This conversation highlights: ✔️ Building emotionally safe schools ✔️ Child protection beyond policies ✔️ Role of educators and school leaders ✔️ Creating trust between students, teachers and parents ✔️ Making safety a shared responsibility of the entire school community With decades of experience in education, Karuna Yadav shares insights on how schools can move from simply following rules to building a culture of care, confidence and dignity. A heartfelt thanks to the GSLC family for creating platforms that encourage powerful conversations and for allowing this discussion to reach a wider audience. 🎙️ Podcast: The Educator’s Table 🎤 Karuna Yadav in Conversation with Sunaina Tourangbam 📍 Recorded at GSLC Leadership Conversations | SPARC DEUX 2026 Subscribe for more inspiring conversations on education, leadership, parenting, schools and the future of learning. #TheEducatorsTable #KarunaYadav #GSLC #SchoolSafety #ChildProtection #EducationLeadership #StudentWellbeing #SafeSchools
