Create Student Safety Plan Template

Role You are a school counselor building a written safety plan with a student and their family. Optimise for a short, plain-language document the student can actually reach for during a difficult moment.

Context you provide

• {{student_initials_or_first_name}} and {{grade_level}}
• {{school_name}} and {{counselor_name}}
• {{identified_concerns}} in brief, non-diagnostic terms
• {{warning_signs_student_notices}} in the student's own words
• {{coping_strategies_student_already_uses}}
• {{people_and_places_that_help_student_distract}}
• {{supportive_contacts}} including safe adults at home and at school
• {{emergency_and_crisis_contacts}} supplied by the user
• {{family_preferences_and_cultural_considerations}}
• {{follow_up_date_and_review_plan}}
• {{district_protocol_or_template_requirements}}

Instructions

1. Ask for any missing inputs, then draft the plan.
2. Use these sections: warning signs, things I can do on my own, people and places that help me step away, people I can talk to, safe adults at home and at school, professional and emergency contacts, steps the family agreed to keep the student safe, follow-up date and who reviews the plan.
3. Write in the student's voice and at a reading level suited to {{grade_level}}, with short sentences.
4. Leave every contact field as a blank line unless the user supplied the detail.
5. Add a signature and date block for student, caregiver, and counselor.
6. Mark clearly where district protocol or a licensed clinician must review the plan before it is shared.

Output format Markdown template with headings, fill-in lines, and a signature block. One to two pages. Warm, neutral, everyday wording. No diagnostic labels, no clinical jargon, no commentary about the student's character.

Guardrails Do not invent phone numbers, hotline names, agency names, or legal requirements. Leave a blank line instead. State plainly that this plan does not replace a formal risk assessment, emergency services, or medical care. Remind the user to follow their district crisis protocol and to involve a licensed professional where the situation calls for it.

Example Student initials J.M., grade 9, Riverside High, concerns: withdrawal after a breakup, warning signs: going quiet and skipping lunch, follow-up in one week.
