Dr Amy Klinger and Amanda Klinger, Esq. are proud to work with the Ontario College of Teachers to help launch their new Professional Advisory "Safety in Learning Environments: A Shared Responsibility."

They've been asked to share research and findings to contribute to the conversation about lockdown enhancements and what Ontario schools can do to keep students safe.

While Canada has not experienced school violence of the same magnitude as the United States, the leadership in Ontario is to be commended for their proactive, not reactive stance.

It is imperative that educators, law enforcements and other stakeholders think critically about all prevention and response practices that increase student safety, even the actions taken to prepare for less frequent events.
