2. Short term responsibilities
● Record incident on tracking sheet or database.
● Determine if this is a repeat infraction.

the bully’s parents and follow up with a letter that describes the
incident, defines bullying and outlines the Code of Conduct
related to bullying.

● Determine formative consequences by talking to the bully,
his/her parents, the co-bullies, and their parents, and by
consulting the board and school policy.

● Determine if police are to be called because if it is an extortion,
the school needs to liaise with the police.
● Discuss problems and approaches with mentor/teacher.

understanding of their responsibilities, the problem behaviour
and its consequences.
