Training for the school network on bullying and violence

The Empowering Adults Working With Students to Take Action in Matters Involving Bullying and Violence, Including Sexual Violence training program is designed to support the school network in its training obligations as introduced by the Act respecting the National Student Ombudsman, which amended the Education Act (ss. 75.1 and 215) and the Act respecting private education (ss. 63.1 and 65.2). This training course is supported by evidence-based research and best  practices.

The training course is intended for any adult who works with students in elementary or secondary educational institutions, or in vocational training or adult general education centres.

Its objective is to develop the knowledge and skills needed to prevent and intervene appropriately in situations of bullying and violence, including sexual violence.

The training course lasts 120 minutes. It comprises eight units, each of which helps to achieve a specific objective that is a prerequisite for the next unit. The training course can be accessed at any time and can be completed in segments. At the end of each unit, you will have access to a downloadable certificate.
