The Australian Government recently announced an Anti-Bullying Rapid Review. The Review will look at current approaches to addressing bullying in schools, what is working and what needs strengthening, with the aim of providing options for the development of a consistent national standard for responding to bullying and its underlying causes in schools.
The Review is now accepting submissions. The Review co-chairs, Dr Charlotte Keating and Dr Jo Robinson AM, are seeking views from students, parents, teachers, and those involved in school education across the country. Submissions can be made anonymously if preferred.
The findings from this Review, alongside last year’s Inquiry into Discrimination and Bullying in Tasmania Schools, will inform DECYP’s future approaches to bullying.
To provide feedback through the submission process, please visit www.education.gov.au/antibullying-rapid-review to share your views by 20 June. This page contains instructions on how to participate, along with the Review’s Terms of Reference.
