The Handle with Care (HWC) Model is considered a promising practice creating a process for when a law enforcement officer encounters a child during a call, that child’s information is forwarded to the school before the school bell rings the next day. The school implements individual, class and whole school trauma-sensitive curricula so that traumatized children are “Handled With Care" so they can receive a trauma-informed response and have access to services should the need arise, thus improving their academic, social-emotional, and behavioral outcomes. The HWC follows this general response and action when when law enforcement encounters a child at the scene of an incident - they identify the child and send a notice to their school that they were involved in a police incident the night before and may have academic or behavioral problems that day. The notice includes no details about the incident, and contains only the child’s name and three words: Handle with Care. The school receives the notice before the start of the school day, so that staff are prepared to “handle the child with care” and respond in a trauma-informed way. Schools with HWC in place also partner with mental health professionals to provide on-site therapy services for children if necessary.
