Heeding the Signs Part 9 A number of core principles from research and practice can assist schools as they draft plans for violence prevention and response. They include:
Establish a partnership with the child, school, home, and community to coordinate service systems
Involve parents as early as possible, and listen to them, when warning signs are observed
Maintain confidentiality and parents' right to privacy
Develop the capacity of staff, students, and families to intervene
Support students in being responsible for their actions
Simplify staff requests for urgent assistance
Make interventions available as early as possible
Use sustained, multiple, coordinated interventions
Analyze the context in which violent behavior occurs
Build upon and coordinate internal school resources
