Realistic Safety Solutions for Schools
As a society, we place the utmost importance on the safety of our youth. There is nothing more disturbing than learning that an innocent child, adolescent or young adult has been harmed. Yet, everyday countless incidents of bullying, harassment, abuse and violence occur in schools.
Recommendations for School Authorities
President's Task Force on Victims of Crime
The Final Report of the President's Task Force on Victims of Crime recognized the important role that educators can play in assisting victims and preventing crime. The task force urged school authorities to take the following immediate actions:













Evaluating the Problem of School Violence
There is no denying that violence in our schools is one of the most troubling issues of our time. Recent reports by the National Education Association indicate a dramatic increase in the incidence of school violence. From students and parents to teachers and administrators, everyone seems hard pressed to find a solution to curb this erupting trend. Even police and politicians are struggling with this issue which does not appear to have an easy answer.
We don't have a definitive answer either. However, we do know that the same basic avoidance, prevention, defense and escape techniques we teach to all individuals to stay safe are applicable to any situation, whether it occurs in the workplace, home, in public or at school. Again, the key to personal safety lies in the ability to recognize and avoid or prevent dangerous situations. It's also important to learn some back-up defense and escape strategies for situations in which preventative measures fail.
Realistic Safety Training for Children, Teens & College Students
Realistic Safety Strategies are based on research that validates the correlation between active learning and memory retention and the age appropriate programs created by Nicole Sundine are designed to empower and build confidence, without causing fear and anxiety.
Through our Realistic Safety Seminars, we can provide this information in the school environment for kids, teens and college age students.
Realistic Safety Education & Training for Staff, Counselors, Teachers and Administrators
When violence occurs in schools, it is both the students and the faculty who are at risk. As a result, faculty members face the overwhelming responsibility of keeping themselves and their students safe at the same time.
Although the Realistic Safety Strategies remain constant, Nicole has the ability to customize the scenario phase in her seminars to meet the specific needs of professionals in the education field. The program for education professionals includes solutions that fit within the parameters of conventional school rules and regulations.
- Develop guidelines for statistical tracking and prompt reporting of violent crimes committed in schools, crimes committed against school personnel and the possession of weapons and narcotics.
- Check the arrest and conviction records for sexual assault, child molestation or pornography offenses for anyone applying to work in a school.
- Develop and provide courses on the problems, needs and legal interests of victims of crime.
- Be mindful of their responsibility to make students aware of how they can avoid being victimized by crime.

"The first seminar by Nicole Sundine was so powerful, that I would love to see every Littleton Academy family attend the next series. I left feeling so inspired by her approach to personal and child safety that I have already started to change the way I communicate with my children about their safety". ~ Michelle
