Standard Response Protocol & Standard Reunification Method Training

Course Description

An Advanced Introduction to the Standard Response Protocol and the Standard Reunification Method.

Introduced in 2009, the Standard Response Protocol is a proven enhancement to school safety planning. Thousands of schools in the US and Canada have adopted the program.
