Restorative practices are emphasized. The In-School Review Committee, a paraprofessional team (e.g., psychology, social work, resource teacher etc.) reviews the student's profile to further support the student. Positive Behaviour Intervention Plan (PBIP) or Safety Plan (an emergency plan for staff only) is created. Superintendent is advised and consulted in regards to the student profile and planning. Additional Supports may be include:
1) De-escalation training for personnel (classroom teacher, EA, BTA, ISSP teacher, guidance teacher, administration etc.)
2) Use of contact programs for intermediate and secondary students
3) Placement in contained classes like the Kindergarten Intensive support (KISC) or the Elementary contained interval class(ECIC) for a period of time before they are placed back in a mainstream classroom. The focus in on providing intensive behavioural support for students who struggle to regulate emotions, behaviour or have significant social emotional needs. 
4) Student specific crisis intervention training occurs for staff who interact with the student
5) Use of Alternative Learning Environments (ALE) such as a sensory or calming room where carefully considered and proactive and responsive interventions are offered.
6) Community Based Early Intervention agencies contacted. for example,  The Arson Prevention Program for Children (TAPP-C)

This would include students who have complex socio-emotional, mental health and/or behavioural needs that have behaviours that escalate over time and in various settings.TA or BTA support is  necessary to be part of an Intensive Support team. PBIB and IEPs goals and any psychological assessments are carefully reviewed by administration and superintendent Formal referrals to PSSP staff (i.e., Mobile Behaviour Support team, psychology, social work) for updated individualized assessments by paraprofessional personnel is given top priority. None of the other interventions have been successful and procedures laid out in Operational Procedure 17 are followed for all registering, planning for and managing the behaviour of the student. Support functions as a bridge to other therapeutic intervention with a community agency. Coordinator of Integrated services in junction with the Intensive Support team as approved by the superintendent. Placements may include:
1) Community Based Treatment programs such as Peel's Children's Centre: Day treatment or alternative to day treatment 
2) Section 23
