The Ministry of Education is partnering with Respect Group
to deliver the 90-minute online personal development training course. The
training will be available over the next two years and includes content on
preventing, identifying, responding to and reporting incidents of bullying,
abuse, harassment and discrimination in schools.
“We are so grateful for the leadership that Saskatchewan
continues to demonstrate when it comes to the prevention of bullying, abuse,
harassment and discrimination,” Kennedy said. “Respect in School will
give school leaders the confidence to step up and step in when situations arise
and help create safe and respectful learning environments for all students.”
“The safety and well-being of students is always a priority for school boards,” Saskatchewan School Boards Association President Dr. Shawn Davidson said. “School division employees and our communities work hard every day to create safe and caring environments for our students and we as school boards are welcoming of additional supports being made available.”
This training is part of the Government of Saskatchewan’s commitment to ensuring schools are safe and inclusive environments for all students and staff.”

Our Mission
Empowering
people to recognize and prevent bullying, abuse, harassment and discrimination
(BAHD) through interactive, online training courses. Harassment Prevention
Training
Our Vision
Eliminate
bullying, abuse, harassment and discrimination (BAHD) by inspiring a global
culture of respect.
Why Respect in School?
When bystanders intervene, they can stop bullying in less
than 10 seconds.
Nearly of all reported sexual assaults occur to children
under the age of 17.
Canada has the 9th highest rate of bullying in the
13-years-olds category on a scale of 35 countries.
At least 1 in 3 adolescent students in Canada have reported
being bullied recently.
Over 80% of the time, bullying happens with peers around.
89% of teachers said bullying and violence are serious
problems in our public schools.
Why Respect Matters
"People want to be involved with organizations that
demonstrate Respect. Often, Vision or Mission Statements include the word
“Respect” however, few organizations have empowered and equipped ALL members of
their team with the necessary tools and training to ensure a positive and
psychologically safe environment. "
