The Critical Incident Database (CID) tool has just been launched for use in tracking critical incidents that happen when students are abroad, according to the Forum on Education Abroad. After much feedback and adjustments, the Forum will launch the live and final version of the CID on August 15, 2013.
The tool also can be used for tracking required information on incidents that should be reported for a member’s Annual Security Report as required by the Department of Education in compliance with the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act (the Clery Act).
The article listed three reasons that intuitions and organizations will want to use the CID tool:
- An easy and convenient way to track what happens to your students while off campus (types of incidents, locations, etc.);
- A reliable method to identify which incidents should be reported in your Annual Security Report to the Department of Education to comply with the Clery Act; and
- A way to help the field track critical incidents so that risk management decisions about education abroad programs can be made using appropriate data.
The Forum is providing a free online demonstration of the CID on Monday, August 19, 2013 at 12:00 p.m. (EST). Go to the article for more information.
ClearCause would like to see mandated reporting and complete transparency. We feel students and families have the right to know. We do like seeing this optional beginning.
