The Safe Schools Model Policy: A Comprehensive Approach to Addressing Dating Violence and Sexual Violence in District of Columbia Schools was developed with support from the Crime Victim Assistance Fund with leadership from Break the Cycle, a national technical assistance provider and expert on teen dating violence. The purpose of the policy is to create an interdisciplinary approach to teen dating violence that addresses: school response to dating and sexual violence; training for school employees; prevention education for students; services for students experiencing dating and sexual violence; and information on parent’s and student’s rights with regard to dating and sexual violence at school.
