ETFO Action on Violence in Schools

ETFO is pursuing a multi-year strategy for addressing violence in schools that includes:

• Lobbying the Ministries of Education and Labour to address violent incidents in schools and improve school board compliance with health and safety legislation;
• Working with Ministry and school board representatives to improve workplace violence reporting and compliance procedures and develop training materials;
• Building community advocacy to press the government to review its education funding formula and provide more funding for special education and support for students with high risk behaviors; and
• Providing ETFO locals and members with enhanced education, training and resources on dealing with workplace violence.
