The Near North District School Board has created a reporting tool that will allow any student, parent, or community member to report a concern for student safety, particularly as it relates to bullying.
The SAFER SCHOOLS! reporting tool is an online form that can be completed anonymously.
It is then sent to the school’s principal for further investigation.
"While it is still our recommendation that students, parents, or community members speak directly to a teacher, principal, vice-principal, or other school staff member regarding issues of conflict or bullying, the SAFER SCHOOLS! reporting tool is another method in which we can ensure the lines of communication are open between our schools and the communities we serve," says a news release.
The SAFER SCHOOLS! reporting tool can be accessed directly from the NNDSB website.
