If you don't already, it might be helpful to write down job descriptions. It saves people fighting over what they're doing at a later date.

Plan some workshops. Some fairly basic role playing can be useful, for example, getting an editor or senior team to sit in the middle of a large circle made up of the rest of the team, who fire potential problems, or maybe even previous issues from last year.

Create a staff manual. This might sound pretty basic but it can iron out a lot of problems. Examples would be the staff manual for The Sentinel at Kennesaw State University and The Elm at Washington College.

Design a series of scenarios of things that have happened locally, even nationally and try and work out how you would react or what the best practice should be. A suicide in student halls, a fire at a houseparty that kills a student, a rape on campus, as examples for topics.
