This is Bullying Awareness and Prevention Week and the Keewatin-Patricia District School Board is raising awareness of the services they provide.
In 2014, the public board launched an anonymous online reporting portal in efforts to work together with students and families to stop bullying in our communities and on the world wide web.
Officials stress “if you see something, say something!”
When a report is submitted, it’s sent to the Principal of the school identified by the reporter, as well as the Safe and Supportive Schools System Administrator and the Superintendent of Education responsible for that school.
Families can also request the school to follow up in the event of a bullying complaint.
The Board stresses all reports are taken seriously and schools will respond quickly in launching an investigation.
