Developing a School-Wide Plan
for Bullying Prevention

One way of building a strong, positive, anti-bullying culture is by
developing a comprehensive school-wide plan for bullying prevention.
Such a plan heightens expectations for a positive and respectful school
climate, and acts as a springboard for developing a school culture that
is bullying-free. Most importantly, it signifies to the total learning
community that bullying in all its forms is not tolerated nor condoned
by the school.
An effective plan:

● is collaboratively developed;

● creates a shared understanding about the nature of bullying and
its effects on all members of the learning community;

● assists all members to know their role in dealing with bullying;

● provides a range of appropriate prevention and intervention
strategies;

● provides a framework for practical action.
