The patented StudentSafe technology from Raptor brings together the systems that help schools recognize, document, support and manage the wellbeing of individual students. The intuitive and robust platform includes the ability to capture low-level concerns, conduct behavioral threat assessments and suicide risk assessments and manage such cases, ensuring positive student outcomes.
Connecting the smallest dots for the earliest interventions.
This happens at every school, every day – a bus driver, teacher or janitor notices something a bit odd about a student’s behavior. Often, we rationalize it away hoping it’s an isolated incident or that someone else will handle it. But what if we’re already the third person this week who’s noticed and nothing has yet to be done?
Give staff the opportunity to direct their concerns in a way that will receive the appropriate attention.
When small pieces of information come together in one central, secure system, patterns emerge for individual students as well as trends across cohorts.
School counselors and trained professionals can readily identify a student in need of support. With such early indications, problems may often be managed more simply with existing resources.
With concerns, tasks, notes and actions in one system, it requires less effort to monitor student progress and achieve positive outcomes.
A central repository gives teams a secure place to gather and share data. This makes it easier to analyze the data to identify patterns and potential warning signs so teams can make informed decisions.
StudentSafe case management enables teams to manage and organize cases and track the progress of interventions over time. This can help teams to stay organized and ensure that individuals are receiving the appropriate level of support and follow-up.
Throughout assessment and case management teams to quickly share information and coordinate their efforts to ensure a coordinated response. StudentSafe facilitates communication and collaboration among team members, even if they are in different locations.

The alarming rate of death by suicide among students requires all our attention. StudentSafe provides a secure platform for school counselors to assess, document and manage cases where students may be at risk of self-harm.
Using the tools, deemed industry best practice, including the Columbia-Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS) and SAFE-T, school counselors can analyze data about a student’s behaviors, attitudes, and mental wellbeing, providing a more comprehensive picture of their risk for suicide. Additionally, counselors can create personalized risk management plans, provide resources for students and guardians, and monitor their progress over time.
We know you have a lot of questions. That’s why we’ve collected the most frequently asked and answered them for you below.
Any school staff member or administrator can log in to StudentSafe and enter a low-level concern by providing some basic information. Schools establish categories of concerns at the district level. When a staff member logs in, they select the student, a category and write a few notes. Additionally, the StudentSafe dashboard will provide a quick view for authorized staff to easily identify students that may need early help and support.
If the concern for the student’s safety warrants a suicide risk assessment or behavioral threat assessment, the situation is escalated within StudentSafe and your team follows the designated workflow and case management process. The student’s chronology is accessible to school counselors and the BTA team to help inform and streamline the process. All tasks, interviews and follow-ups are documented within StudentSafe helping to keep staff focused on the needs of the student and ensuring a secure, central repository of information.
Low-level concerns are minor concerns a staff member may have about a student’s behavior or observance of the student. These can include irregular attendance, outbursts or meltdowns, unexplained bruising, new slang, appearing unkempt/disheveled, food insecurity, withdrawal, etc.
Oftentimes, such behaviors or observances may not seem concerning as a single instance, however when others have similar encounters with the student and they are all documented in a central, secure place, we can easily see patterns and a need for early help and support for the student. The sooner we can help the student, the better the outcomes.
The software is based on a longstanding practice in the UK called safeguarding, where it is the law that schools (and other institutions) must document all forms of concerns related to the health and wellbeing of students. The goal is to safeguard students/children from harm such as any form of abuse, neglect, and mistreatment, as well as peer-on-peer abuse, grooming for gangs or other illicit activities, trafficking, self-harm and more. In 2021, Raptor Technologies purchased CPOMS, the leading provider of Safeguarding software in the UK with over 15,000 schools and more than a decade of history in improving the safety and wellbeing of UK students.
Any school staff member or administrator can log in to StudentSafe and enter a low-level concern by providing some basic information. Schools establish categories of concerns such as mental wellbeing, home/family, relationships, etc. at the district level. When a staff member logs in, they select the student, a category and write a few notes. Districts can set alerts to notify counselors or other designated staff when a specific category is used (e.g., bullying). Additionally, the StudentSafe dashboard will provide a quick view for designated staff to easily identify students that may need early help and support.
Most staff members will only be able to enter data, not view data. StudentSafe includes four-dimensional provisioning enabling your district to configure permissions in a highly detailed and precise manner. Additionally, Raptor is SOC2-certified providing the highest level of security on the market.
