Bully Prevention and Intervention Plan
Bullying Prevention and Intervention is part of Durham District School Board (DDSB) Safe Schools initiative. 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.
