RAPTOR StudentSafe™

• StudentSafe is the first-of-its-kind platform to help schools recognize, document, support and manage the wellbeing of individual students. The hallmark of Raptor’s patented technology is the emphasis on cataloging low-level concerns so your teams can see a student in need of support at the very earliest signs of distress. Now all the small pauses and quick mental notes your staff makes in concern for a student can be easily entered into a single secure platform where your trained teams are able to see a picture forming of a student who may need help.
  
  
• Additionally, StudentSafe includes robust behavioral threat assessment workflows and case management features, including the CSTAG methodology and the Federal or NTAC model as well as common variations.

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 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 the BTA team to help inform and streamline the process.

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.
