School level intervention plan for vulnerable students

Abstract

Vulnerability refers to the susceptibility of individuals, systems, or communities to harm or exploitation due to inherent weaknesses or exposed conditions. In a school context, identifying vulnerabilities involves assessing areas where students, staff, or the school might be at risk. This can include physical safety concerns, such as inadequate security measures or unsafe facilities; emotional and psychological vulnerabilities, such as students facing bullying or mental health challenges; and academic vulnerabilities, such as gaps in student learning or resources. By systematically evaluating these aspects, schools can implement targeted interventions to mitigate risks and create a safer, more supportive environment. This document is a guideline for developing the intervention plan to support education for vulnerable students. These students often face challenges in engaging with the learning process due to various factors. To ensure a smooth continuation of their education, schools must first identify the root cause of these problems. It is crucial to create a plan, designed to the specific needs of each student. Therefore, engaging in constructive discussions with both the student and their parents is essential to identify the underlying issues and develop a realistic and practical plan to address them effectively.
