Responding to Press and Public When CSA Incidents Occur
2023-03-16 14:30 - 15:45 | Webinar
During times of crisis, it is imperative that districts are prepared to respond to questions, concerns while sending a message of safety and support. Most often districts do not have adequate time to develop and prepare the responses brought on by the barrage of press and media requests. When incidents of childhood sexual assault occur, the impact can be felt by students, staff and community and requires an astute level of sensitivity and authenticity. This presentation will provide tips, templates, and strategies to support district preparedness and response when crisis occurs.

Target Audience: PIO Representatives & Cabinet Representatives
