Policy Review Services for Schools

Children learn through creating meaningful relationships and clear, sensible boundaries create the freedom and understanding to establish appropriate relationships.

We work with you to identify risk areas and take appropriate action to mitigate them.

The following are some of the areas we address:

Teacher/Student Boundaries on and off campus.
Misconduct Response.
Counsellor/Camper Boundaries.
Creating a Safer Environment for Coaches and Student Athletes.
Improved Social Media Policies.
Risk Management Protocols for Field Trips.
Visitor Policies.
Youth Misconduct Prevention and Response.
Best Practices for Diversity & Inclusion.
Updated Safety Policies for LBGTQ+ Students.

Policy Review Key Documents

Your school’s policies are presented in audience-specific documents, including:

Employee Handbook.
Family Handbook.
Fieldtrip Protocols.

The SOS ThreeSixty policy review process will assess each of these key documents relative to best practice, compliance requirements, and your specific needs and objectives.

Risk management and comprehensive HR policies are critical to protect the reputation and sustainability of all schools.

Employee Handbook

To be effective, the Employee Handbook must be digestible with easy-to-understand policies that indicate clearly the expectations of all staff, so that there are no misunderstandings.

Family Handbook

Families are a key partner of your school, so defining what is expected of them, helps with accountability for both the school and the students’ support system.

Field Trip Protocols

Since Duty of Care is equally required and expected when students are off campus (local fieldtrips, domestic & international travel), Field Trip Protocols define expectations for students and staff and serve as a conduct guide for all.

client feedback

"We were looking for a program that would engage our staff and build on their safety knowledge and skills. After completing the SOS ThreeSixty Boundary Training, so many of my colleagues came up to me and said how strong and effective it was. They felt informed and were able to relate directly to the content and apply it in their everyday interactions with students. This training brings home important messages and gave us such a good vocabulary and framework to sit down together and have meaningful discussions within our school about connecting with our students in a caring and healthy way."

"Their breadth of experience and understanding of our school culture was incredibly helpful in finalizing a document that was practical, actionable and would protect our students and our school."

“School safety has never been more important. Risk management and comprehensive HR policies are critical to protect the reputation and sustainability of all schools. By understanding each school’s individual culture, SOS ThreeSixty delivers unique and engaging trainings that utilize real-world examples and provide those ah-ha moments where safe practices meet reality.”

"I am thankful for the expertise I now have because of the one-on-one work I did with SOS ThreeSixty. Their engaging trainings are an incredible asset for any school leader and they always offer real-world examples that provide that ah-ha moment."

“The Newman School is known for its deep relationships and committed faculty and for those reasons, we knew taking the Boundary Training For Boarding Schools course was essential to our commitment to continue to create a safer and supportive environment for our students and faculty. We are very pleased with the information provided within the course as it is relatable to our school environment needs and common situations. We look forward in continuing our relationship with SOS ThreeSixty as part of our safety training program for our school.”

“SOS ThreeSixty’s Chaperone Training was such a very worthwhile seminar and brought so many important considerations to the forefront. As we begin our travel experiences again post-pandemic - and hope to expand those offerings for students and staff in the safest possible manner - your training session was truly invaluable."

"The work SOS ThreeSixty conducts is really important. We implemented their Boundary Training for Schools: Creating a Culture of Safety online, asynchronous course to all of our staff. I talked to every employee who completed the course and their feedback was really positive. SOS ThreeSixty is our partner in maintaining a Culture of Safety within our nurturing educational community."
