Safe Schools
Creating safer schools and communities
When you send your children off to school each morning, you expect they will be in a safe and welcoming environment where students can focus on learning and teachers can concentrate on helping students to succeed.
We believe that safe schools are a prerequisite for student achievement and that bullying and violent behaviour are never acceptable in Ontario's schools or communities. This is why we have undertaken a series of initiatives to make schools safer, including:
- Programs to prevent bullying and cyber-bullying
- Bullying prevention training for teachers and principals
- Internet safety programs (CYBERCOPS – Mirror Image and Air Dogs programs)
- Legislative amendments that more effectively combine discipline with opportunities for students to continue their education
- Partnerships with parents, police and community groups such as Kids Help Phone and the Kids Internet Safety Alliance.
