Surveys

Introduction

This set of five surveys and an incident tracking form provide a standard way to measure the prevalence of bullying, sexual harassment and racial discrimination. These surveys assess who is involved, where and when these problems take place and the impact of school-based programs.
 

• School Incident Tracking Form
  Developed by John LeBlanc, Dalhousie University, in collaboration with several Halifax schools. The Nova Scotia Department of Education is using a modified version of this in its Positive Effective Behavioural Support program, known as PEBS. Now available in electronic format.

  Adapted from the Safe School Survey (West Vancouver School District of British Columbia, Shelley Hymel, Aaron White, and Ishu Ishivama, 2003).
   
• CPHA Safe School Survey for Grades 8-12

These surveys are accompanied with instructions for administration. Adherence to these instructions will ensure the credibility of the results. The Safe School Surveys are to be completed no more than once a year.
