Overview
Bullying in schools is an endemic concern for the whole school community that has no ‘quick fix’ solution. Instead, there are evidence-based strategies that educators can use to help reduce the prevalence of bullying and to intervene when bullying behaviours occur. This course will support educators in addressing all forms of bullying in their schools by creating, communicating, implementing and evaluating an effective bullying prevention policy.
