Now more than ever, it’s essential for schools and organizations to ensure students, teachers, and staff have access to safe and inclusive learning environments. That’s why we’re excited to partner with Safer Schools Together (SST), an international leader in threat assessment and violence prevention in educational institutions.
With over 100 years of collective experience, SST has a proven record of helping schools minimize and handle student violence risks. Their goal of enhancing proactive safety in schools and workplaces aligns heavily with ours—a feat made possible by the combined forces of both organizations’ highly tailored, industry-focused screening solutions.
In this exciting new partnership, SST’s preventative threat assessment tools have merged with our robust background screening solutions to help schools and workplaces identify risks before they become crises.
This collaboration offers:
By combining solutions, we ensure a comprehensive 360-degree approach—every individual, whether their involvement on campus is full-time or temporary, is thoroughly vetted. This every-link-in-the-chain approach includes players that are often overlooked when it comes to campus safety, such as:
Our additional platforms are specifically designed for the unique instances often seen in learning environments:
Certified Contractors ensures third-party service providers, like janitorial staff or vending machine technicians, have met rigorous background screening standards before being allowed on campuses.
Verified Credentials Scholar® specializes in screening the students themselves—often for higher education or clinical placements—to ensure a clean criminal history and verify licenses and placement requirements in an effort to maintain campus safety standards.
Ever-changing regulations and learning environments require constantly evolving methods to ensure the safety of school communities. This grouping of reliable screening and risk prevention tools equips institutions with the supplies needed to drive awareness and trust among school administrators, workplace safety officers, and compliance professionals. Between our extensive background screening solutions and SST’s advanced behavioral threat assessment methods, schools and organizations can pinpoint past and future threat-related behaviors in anyone involved in these institutions.
This partnership fuels Verified Credentials’ continued effort to make a positive impact in the education sector by helping schools make smarter, more informed hiring decisions—now even further reinforced by SST’s dependable behavior assessment and risk mitigation strategies.
Safer Schools Together provides comprehensive threat assessment training and resources aimed at minimizing and managing the risks of student violence to foster safe, inclusive learning environments. Learn more at https://saferschoolstogether.com/.
