Bully Prevention and Intervention Plan
Bullying Prevention and Intervention is part of Durham District School Board (DDSB) Safe Schools initiative. At Beau Valley Public School, we believe bullying is a serious issue that can affect individuals, families and the community at large. If students who are bullied, who bully others, or who witness bullying receive support, they can learn effective strategies for interacting positively with others.
Report a bullying incident
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.
Beau Valley Public School 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.
