Bullying Prevention at School and Community Involvement
Getting started
Assess school prevention and intervention efforts around student behavior including substance use and violence.
Many programs help address the same protective and risk factors that bullying programs do.
Assess bullying in your school
Conduct assessments in your school to determine how often bullying occurs, where it happens, how students and adults intervene, and whether your prevention efforts are working.
Engage parents and youth
Launch an awareness campaign to make the objectives known to the school, parents and community members.
Establish a school safety committee to plan, implement, and evaluate your school's bullying prevention program.
Create policies and rules
Create a mission statement, code of conduct, school-wide rules, and a bullying reporting system.
Build a safe environment
Establish a school culture of acceptance, tolerance, and respect.
Use staff meetings, assemblies, class and parent meetings, newsletters to families, the school website, and the student handbook to establish a positive climate at school.
Reinforce positive social interactions and inclusiveness.
Educate students and school staff
Build bullying prevention materials into the curriculum and school activities.
Train teachers and staff on the school rules and policies.
Give teachers the skills to intervene consistently and appropriately.
Working in the community
Community-wide strategies can help identify and support children who are bullied, redirect the behavior of children who bully, and change the attitudes of adults and youth who tolerate bullying behaviors in peer groups, schools, and communities.
The benefits of working together
Hearing anti-bullying messages from different adults in children's lives can reinforce the message for kids that bullying is unacceptable.
Potential partners
Involve anyone who wants to learn about bullying and reduce its impact in the community.
Consider involving businesses, local associations, adults who work directly with kids, parents, and youth.
Community strategies
Study community strengths and needs.
Develop a common understanding of the problem.
Establish a shared vision about bullying in the community, its impact, and how to stop it.
Identify audiences to target and tailor messages as appropriate.
Describe what each partner will do to help prevent and respond to bullying.
Advocate for bullying prevention policies in school and throughout the community.
