Prevention or Intervention Strategies to Support Workers and Student Safety Plan:

(these strategies may be similar to the strategies that are being implemented in the behaviour intervention plan,
consider crisis and staff response)

***** MOST IMPORTANT***** Crisis Response

Pre-crisis (verbal, non-verbal strategies):

- Offer Abhi alternative task (mindful moment, walk, snack break
- Ignore Abhi’s oppositional behaviour, walk away (do not engage right away)
- Speak to Abhi in a calm, even toned voice (watch your paraverbals)
 - Be conscious of body language (remain at a distance, at ease posture, no crossed
arms etc.)
- Use reflective questioning to help Abhi gain insight about her feelings/behaviour.
- Reduce what is being asked of Abhi

Crisis (physical response if any):

- Notify Admin or other teacher for assistance (remember OCT duty of
care/supervision of pupils)
- Remove other students from the room/area as needed.
- Remain calm and do not raise voice or change into a defensive stance.
- Give Abhi space to calm down/reflect.
- Notify admin, parents, and authorities if student runs from school property.

Post Crisis (rebuild relationship):

- Model, teach and support the student to adopt alternative behaviours that are more
socially acceptable.
- Do not revisit behavioural event with student unless specifically spoken about by
the student.
- Welcome back into the class – no grudges, ensure the student knows this.
- Log Behavioural event in the behavioural log for future review.
Process to support student movement from class (consideration for hallway movement,
alternative staff involvement):  
- Abhi will eat lunch in classroom (not cafeteria) if expressing behaviour concerns.
- EA will walk from class to class with Abhi either directly or from a distance.
-

Communication Procedures for all Workers: (use of PA/Phone systems, Walkie Talkies etc)
- Go to channel “1” on walkie talkie for immediate admin response/support if student
flees the building.
- When behaviour occurs ensure that it is logged in the behavioural log by the end of
each day
- Make best attempt to notify staff of any previous behaviours that were exhibited
that day.
- If room has to be vacated for other students’ safety, and walkie talkie is not on
hand, notify office in any way possible (other staff walkie talkie, PA system (stating
code Green in room 205)

Emergency Communication: (Parent/Guardian/Emergency Contact to be called, and when)

- Notify parents of any student behaviour that has escalated beyond sheer refusal
(yelling, hitting, throwing objects, punching, leaving the building, threats etc.)
Parent and Guardian Consultation: 
- At IPRC meeting – discussing IEP, behavioural plan, and safety plan instituted for
student.

behaviours begin (head to mental health office, or administrators’ office.)
- If violent behaviour occurs EA and Occasional teacher will be instructed to simply
evacuate the class and notify admin via walkie talkie or other means

school.
