How Can I Help?
Environment
Creating Safe Spaces in Schools
Safe spaces in schools can be established in several areas: quiet corners in classrooms for individual decompression, designated wellbeing rooms for staff, separate time-out areas for students, and even larger recreational areas for community and play. To be effective, these spaces should be clearly marked, equipped with calming tools like sensory items, and supported by clear rules and a positive community atmosphere.
Calm-Down Corner
A designated quiet area within the classroom where students can go to self-regulate their emotions using provided sensory tools or calming activities.
Brave Room / Calm Cave
A specifically designed room for emotional regulation, equipped with sensory tools like calming lights, sounds, and fidget toys to help students manage overwhelming feelings.
Wellbeing Space
A location outside of the classroom, alternative to an isolation room, where students can go to reflect and manage strong emotions.
Wellbeing Room for Staff
A dedicated space for teachers to use for self-care, mindfulness, or simply to decompress away from their regular staff room.
Clear Communication
Educate students on the purpose of the safe space, when to use it, and how it can help them return to class ready to learn.
Cozy Corner
Similar to a calm-down corner, this space can feature soft furnishings like pillows or a tent providing a soothing and private environment for a child to relax and take a break.
