WHAT IS SPEAKUP FOR SAFETY?
SpeakUp for Safety is a tipline for students and staff members to share their concerns about bullying, planned fights, students in crisis (suicide, self-harm, drug or alcohol abuse), school violence, and other safety concerns or urgent situations.
SpeakUp is safe and confidential and is available to staff and students 24/7.
HOW DOES SPEAKUP FOR SAFETY WORK?
Easily report by emailing, calling, or texting the SpeakUp tipline. After contacting SpeakUp, students and staff will receive an automated reply assuring them that their concern has been received. This email will also include a phone number unique to Triton for anonymous calls and text messages so students and staff can follow up.
Trained Professionals evaluate and review content 24/7/365, filter out false positives, and send an email regarding non-life-threatening items to administration. In emergency situations, they will call school officials and can even contact local law enforcement.
This process allows the team to decide how to take action and gives students the confidence to express their concerns without feeling like they are getting themselves or their peers in trouble. Most students and some staff worry about reporting incidents because they don’t want to draw unnecessary attention to themselves or the situation at hand. With SpeakUp, students and staff can report concerning situations with confidence that they will remain anonymous and the situation will be dealt with in the best way possible.
