Safe Schools Start with Safe Adults

New Dawn provides education protection through expert solutions that minimize risk and maximize impact for K–12 students, educators, and schools.

We help schools maintain integrity, accountability, and protection by implementing effective policies, clear procedures, and practical training that address the risks of adult-to-student sexual misconduct

As an independent partner, we support schools with investigative expertise, structured decision-making processes, and safeguards that help institutions respond quickly and responsibly when allegations arise. 

What We Do

We help K–12 administrators address misconduct, oversee risk, and respond to concerns effectively.

New Dawn provides training to prevent, identify, remediate and address misconduct. Our training educates school personnel on practical strategies, policy application, and age-appropriate approaches for handling sensitive situations. New Dawn’s proprietary training and skilled experts ensure training participants leave more informed and knowledgeable about navigating sensitive situations that need to be handled with care. 

Participants will leave New Dawn’s expert trainings with the confidence and knowledge to navigate sensitive situations and inspire trust among students and parents alike.  

Training

New Dawn’s professional investigators gather evidence, uncover facts, establish findings, and recommend actions. We investigate all types of adult-to-student sexual misconduct, from routine incidents to complex matters involving multiple individuals and criminal activities. Our team of professional investigators ensure prompt, thorough, and robust outcomes, protecting the school’s reputation and reducing risk.

Investigations

New Dawn’s consultancy arm goes beyond processing and resolving allegations.  New Dawn will uncover incidents of adult-to-student sexual misconduct, with or without an allegation, so that root causes may be identified and remedied. New Dawn’s experts will analyze all relevant data to inform policies, procedures, and training, and conduct random and/or scheduled audits during the school year to gauge progress in real time.
