Welcome to School Safety Publications

Safe: Not Sorry!

This booklet for UFT members grew out of a Federation of Nurses/UFT Professional Issues Conference. The Police Department's Crime Prevention Task Force gave a workshop there on how our nurses could improve their personal safety and avoid becoming victims of crime here in New York City.

Victim Support Program

The Victim Support Program was established in 1989 by the United Federation of Teachers and the New York City Board of Education to provide comprehensive, practical assistance and psychological support to teachers and other school personnel following crimes and violent incidents in school.Our goal is to help you cope with the aftermath of a criminal incident.

School Safety Fact Sheet

It is critical that we build on our success by strictly enforcing our own rules. It’s essential that schools report all infractions—from the most minor to the most serious. We, as a system, cannot afford to tolerate schools’ failure to report incidents.
