Safety Plans
What is a Student Safety Plan?
The student safety plan is developed for a student whose behaviours are known to pose an ongoing risk of physical injury to him or herself, staff, and others in the school community. The safety plan is designed to protect the student and others from physical harm related to these risks.
The student safety plan is based on the findings of a risk assessment that identifies what the student is doing that causes or is likely to cause injury. The injury could be to the student him or herself, or other people at the school site or school program including ETFO members and other staff, students, parents, or guardians.
The student safety plan includes vital information such as a description of the unsafe behaviours; preventative or instructional strategies; how to get immediate assistance; steps to protect the student, other students, and staff from harm; crisis response; first aid and emergency procedures; and reporting requirements.
