Bully Prevention and Intervention Plan
Research and experience show that bullying is a serious issue that has far-reaching consequences for individuals, their families, peers, and the community at large. If students who are bullied, who bully others, or who witness bullying receive the necessary support, they can learn effective strategies for interacting positively with others and promoting positive peer dynamics. Preventing bullying requires a Whole-School approach along with insights and input from parents and the community.
Report a bullying incident
Students and parents are encouraged to always contact a teacher or the school office when bullying occurs. Should you wish, you may also fill out an online bullying incident report if you experience or witness bullying.
Students, parents, guardians, friends and witnesses can report incidents. You can report an incident that takes place on or off school property.
C.E. Broughton’s Bully Prevention Plan
We are committed to fostering a safe, accepting and supportive learning environment that promotes well-being (i.e., cognitive, emotional, social, physical) and the academic achievement of all learners. We believe that this is achieved through a Whole School Approach. We will respond to any student behaviour that is likely to have a negative impact on the school climate and will investigate all reports of bullying. We will provide support to those affected by bullying, including those who engage in bullying.
Our school has created and implemented a Bullying Prevention and Intervention Plan.
