TORONTO – Are you an elementary or secondary school employee or a school board representative? Your input is needed to enhance school safety measures and prevent workplace violence in schools. We are conducting a survey on workplace violence risk assessments and prevention practices in early years, elementary, and secondary schools.

By completing this anonymous survey, you will directly contribute to developing a violence risk assessment tool for elementary and secondary schools in Ontario. The survey takes only 8-15 minutes to complete and will be available until January 19, 2024.

In addition to the survey, we will be conducting focus groups and a workplace violence-specific root cause analysis workshop early in 2024. The survey provides an opportunity to indicate if you would like to participate in either activity.  

The survey can be found here in English: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/preventschoolviolence  and here in French: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/preventiondelaviolence 

Please join us in this important initiative to make schools a safer place for everyone. If you have questions or wish to participate in either of the additional activities, please contact Chris Arsenault, Director of Health, Safety and Wellbeing - Education and Specialized Services at carsenault@pshsa.ca.
