No one would ever build a school without a detailed blueprint. You’d be crazy to even try! Your level of talent, resources, passion, and commitment wouldn’t matter one bit because the task is too big, too detailed, and too important. If you got it wrong, which would be easy to do, someone could lose their life.

School safety is the same thing!

You must have a detailed, coordinated, and comprehensive school safety plan. The outcome is too big to risk! 

Your safety plan must be current, actionable, and not relegated to a binder. It can’t be something that stays on a shelf but is alive in your classrooms, halls, and in the hearts of those you love and lead. It must also be holistic since safety and culture are intertwined and if you raise one, you’re going to raise the other, and if one is low, it’s going to drag the other down with it. 

If you don’t have a plan, here’s an assessment tool  you can use to help you get started. Just subscribe and we'll email you a copy!

Use it to assess your current abilities so you can prioritize your efforts! This is the same thing I send out to school leaders before I create Safe & Loved School Safety Plans for schools. 

Leaders use the form to identify their strengths and areas of vulnerabilities and then to prioritize what they consider to be the most important to least important areas to improve. 

I use this information, along with my own observations, to create a school specific and relevant safety plan or coaching experience. What I love about the form is that it’s holistic and it includes the 12 Priorities of Safe & Loved as well as a little bit more. 

The 12 Points of Safe & Loved is what every school should strive to achieve!

You are free to use these as your approach and standard to safety. If there are any points you’d like to have specifically addressed in greater detail, or would like to have it in PDF, please let me know.
