How Safety-Care aligns: Numerous school districts throughout the United States and Canada rely upon QBS and our Safety-Care training to provide their staff members with the training they need to help maintain a safe and healthy learning environment. Safety-Care provides a comprehensive, supportive approach to incident prevention, de-escalation, and management. District staff will learn practical strategies for helping students that use evidence-based practices consistent with PBIS (Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports) and ABA (Applied Behavior Analysis).

Safety-Care can help your district meet grant requirements in the following ways:

(b) Grants are to develop training and to work with schools to train staff on non-exclusionary disciplinary practices that maintain respect, trust and attention of students and help keep students in classrooms.

Article II, §28 Subd. 12 Non-exclusionary Disciplinary Policies and Practices means policies and practices that are alternatives to dismissing a pupil from school including but not limited to:

• Evidence-based positive behavior interventions and supports

How Safety-Care aligns: Safety-Care is focused on encouraging positive behavior prior to the use of any other intervention strategy. Our approach stems from the use of Positive Behavior Intervention and Supports (PBIS) that can prevent and manage challenging behavior.

• Social and emotional services

How Safety-Care aligns: Safety-Care certified individuals are trained to use our Help, Prompt, and Wait strategies as early intervention procedures that effectively de-escalate potential crisis situations before any physical management is necessary. Safety-Care is also based on Applied Behavior Analysis practices and regularly updated with the most current research.

• Developing and implementing a consistent and specialized support system for students who do not display behaviors representative of schoolwide positive expectations [122A.627, clause (3)]

How Safety-Care aligns: Safety-Care is geared towards ensuring that all trainees are familiar with a single response system and can respond in-kind to numerous situations regardless of the professional setting. Having your entire staff trained in Safety-Care will allow for a schoolwide system of behavioral supports to encourage a safe and productive learning environment.
