Safe2Say Something
-
- We encourage and teach our students to call 911 for emergencies and report safety concerns to a trusted adult (at home or school). However, there may be situations where a student does not feel comfortable talking to an adult.
- In 2018, the General Assembly passed Act 44 mandating the establishment and use of the "Safe2Say Something" (S2SS) anonymous reporting system by every Pennsylvania school entity.
- S2SS is a life-saving and changing school safety program that teaches students, educators, and administrators how: (1) to recognize the signs and signals of individuals who may be at risk of hurting themselves or others and (2) to report this information by calling 911 in an emergency, telling a trusted adult, or anonymously through the S2SS app, website, or 24/7 Crisis Center Hotline.
-
- A tip is submitted via mobile app, Safe2Say website or by calling the PA based 24/7 Crisis Center at 1-844-SAF2SAY (1-844-723-2729)
- The tip is then triaged by the Crisis Center to gather enough information to act on it
- The tip is delivered to the impacted school and, as needed, local law enforcement via 911 County Dispatch
- The school and, as needed, local law enforcement assess and intervene with the at-risk individual
- The school then closes out the tip and reports actions taken as a record for their school
