Fencing at Wilford School was assessed as to new entrant students starting at the school have
additional needs, and the current fencing was deemed as not being able to maintain a suitable
level of safety. Existing fencing at Wilford School is either to low (not providing enough of an
obstacle) or constructed in a way where footholds exist for easy (relatively) climbing.
Current needs of new student to be addressed are relating to difficulties with receptive and
responsive communication, desire to explore and find paths of escape, keenness to squeeze
through small spaces and gaps, climbing, and running to and around open spaces. There are also
concerns around a lack of danger awareness when pursuing needs. This includes around cars and
roads, other people, and water (note that the rear of the school site has a stream). It has been
highlighted that there is a history of attempting to leave early childcare facilities unsupervised via
ajar gates.
The goal of this project is to replace and/or redesign fencing around the boundaries of the school
to ensure that fencing heights and structure reduce any risks associated with the new entrant
students
