Project Brief: Dynamic Safety Assessment and Feedback System for School SafetyNet Questionnaire
Objective: Develop an intuitive and actionable user experience for [example] the Level 1: Walk-Through Assessments℠ (WTA) module within the SITE|SAFETYNET℠ platform. The goal is to enable users to assess their campus's safety comprehensively, while dynamically providing tailored recommendations and generating a corrective action report based on responses.

Core Features

1

Assessment Questions with Contextual Tags
Each question is paired with a tag explaining its relevance to school safety. This ensures users understand the importance of the question and how it relates to overall security.
Example for Campus Exterior Assessment℠ (CEA):
Question: Are all grounds fenced and properly maintained?
Tag: Ensures the perimeter is secure, preventing unauthorized access and reducing vulnerabilities.

2

Dynamic Feedback for "NO" Responses
Provide immediate, actionable advice when users answer "NO" to any question. [Or generated in report only?] The feedback should:
  • Outline why the issue is critical.
  • Offer practical steps to address the issue.
  • Optionally link to external resources or guides.
Example:
Question: Are all grounds fenced and properly maintained?
Feedback for "NO": "Ensure all fencing is repaired and maintained to close gaps and maintain a secure perimeter. Schedule regular inspections to identify vulnerabilities."

3

Corrective Action Report
At the conclusion of the assessment, compile all "NO" responses into a downloadable or shareable report. Each issue will include:
  • A summary of the identified issue.
  • Recommended actions.
  • Links to best practices or additional resources.
Example Report Entry:
Issue: Fences are not properly maintained.
Recommended Action: Conduct a fencing audit to identify and repair damaged sections. Consider hiring a professional contractor if necessary.

4

Dynamic Contextual Pop-Ups (Optional) [or in reports only?]
When users select "NO," a contextual pop-up can provide a deeper explanation or links to detailed resources.
Example for Question 6:
Pop-Up Message: "Blind spots around exterior walls can compromise surveillance. Consider using convex mirrors, security cameras, or landscaping adjustments to enhance visibility."
Implementation Recommendations
Technical Requirements
  • Integrate inline feedback functionality using JavaScript for real-time responses.
  • Store "NO" responses in a database or session storage to dynamically generate the Corrective Action Report.
  • Use a lightweight modal library for contextual pop-ups (e.g., Bootstrap, React Modal).
Design Considerations
  • Maintain a clean and user-friendly interface.
  • Ensure feedback is concise and visually distinct from the main question text.
  • Use icons or color coding to differentiate between "YES" and "NO" responses for visual clarity.
Scalability
  • Allow administrators to update or customize recommendations and tags.
  • Design the auto-generated reporting system to accommodate future expansion (e.g., integration with compliance audits or accreditation systems).
Key Considerations
User-Focused Design
Ensure recommendations are practical and achievable within the context of a school's resources and limitations.
Clarity and Engagement
Keep the tone supportive and avoid overwhelming users with too much information at once.
Benchmarking:
Dynamic scoring system allows schools to compare safety readiness with national or district benchmarks, providing an understanding of where they stand in comparison to peers.
Security and Privacy
Ensure all assessment data is stored securely with advanced encryption and anonymize user inputs wherever possible to protect sensitive information and maintain privacy.
