Incident Management

The Incident Management editor lists all behavior incidents for the School in the current year. Incidents can be filtered by status and alignment and sorted by any of the column headings. The list is automatically sorted by Date/Time. The Reporter is the individual indicated in the Submitted By field, who submitted the referral or created the incident. Status options are as follows:

•    Submitted: Incident has been submitted as a referral but not yet reviewed by the behavior administrator or other  authorized user.

•    In Progress: Incident is being modified, as when incident details are being verified. This status is also applied to  incident records created in the Management tool.

•    Complete: Incident details have been verified, resolutions assigned, and modifications completed.

Administrators should check to make sure all incidents are marked as complete.(Allows student incidents to be reported in State Reporting.)

NOTE:

Damages: Use this field if there is a cost or value associated with the incident.

Details: Use this field to add a summary of the incident.  Be careful about FERPA. Other student’s names should not be added here.  Use initials to be on the safe side.  Remember IC allows you to link all parties related to the incident and define their roles. So, you can identify victims, witnesses, participants, etc.

Submitted by: This field is to capture the name of the referring staff member. This is the staff person who makes the initial report.
