Developed by
October 3, 2025

Turn tense moments into predictable, dignified responses with a clear, step-by-step plan aligned to the escalation cycle. This Crisis Response Plan Template helps teams spot early triggers, prioritize safety, and use steady, consistent language at every stage – from trigger to recovery. Embed roles, prompts, and re-entry steps so every adult knows exactly what to do and students can return to learning calmly and confidently.

  • Define early warning signs, triggers, and agreed-upon cues.
  • Map stage-matched prompts and safety actions for trigger, peak and recovery.
  • Clarify staff roles, family/office communication, and smooth re-entry routines.
