Parkland College is concerned about the care, welfare, safety and security of all of its students, faculty, and staff, and is committed to providing an environment in which individuals are free to work, learn and teach, unencumbered and uninhibited by threats of intimidation and harm. In order to provide our students with the greatest chance of success and our community with the greatest level of protection, the Concern and Response Team (CART) was created to provide a collaborative, cross-functional approach to assessing and responding to individuals who are at risk of harm to self or others. This proactive approach to campus safety fosters a culture of reporting in order to intervene via educational, rather than punitive, means according to an established protocol and transparent procedures. CART provides training and education as we work together to promote student and community success and development. CART continually assesses and evaluates its function and protocols over time as best practices are identified and refined.
