A safer you -

Your opinion is a step towards safe learning

The project aims to raise public awareness about the rapidly deteriorating safety conditions in School boards all across Canada by gathering data to identify the schools that are safer and those that need to improve.

It’s like creating a public accountability board that motivates school administrations to improve conditions in areas that need attention.

  • St. Jude Catholic School
    Staff members are regularly subjected to verbal, physical, and even sexual assault by students, creating an unsafe and hostile work environment. Despite repeated concerns being raised, administration and board officials have failed to implement effective measures to protect staff, students, and visitors. The lack of action has led to a decline in morale, with many staff feeling frustrated, unsupported, and undervalued.
  • Bobby Orr P.S.
    I’m an educational assistant. I work in a small class. I’m hit kicked and punched every day at my job. There have been days that I go home unable to take care of my own young children due to injuries
  • St. Luke the Evangelist Catholic School
    I’m a supply Ea and I took this school off my list. Didn’t feel safe or welcome.
  • I’m listing all of the incidents that I’ve experienced (that I can remember )since the start of my EA journey in late 2017.

    On a regular basis I am subjected to: slapping, kicking, punching, pinching, spitting, sworn & screamed at, pushing, foot stomping & head butting.
    Occasionally I am subjected to: body slamming, biting, hair pulling & threats
    Once I was slapped hard across the face, whipped with a gait belt across the face just below the eye and knocked in the head by a students head

    Sadly I’ve witnessed several violent incidents against coworkers & students.
    This is physically and mentally exhausting.

    Thanks you for collecting our stories and hopefully shedding light on this crisis!
  • St. Anne Catholic School
    I’m not even sure how to explain the stuff that goes on here. There is no admin support to the staff, it’s like they don’t exist. They are only worried about how it appears/their image and really don’t give the staff the support they need. There is a definite divide here. The behaviours are out of control and there is never any follow through to deal with it. Kids rule the school. They do what they want when they want without any real fear of consequences. It’s sad I’m told it never used to be this way. The staff all talk about how times have changed and they used to feel so supported before. I understand there has been admin change but this shouldn’t be happening. Staff should feel safe when they go to work. The EAs are great for the most part and I feel support each other as best they can. However I have seen admin not treat them with the respect they deserve and if I’m being honest some have been treated extremely poorly. This school is very large and needs an Admin who knows how to support the team and deal with extreme behaviours. Sadly this team isn’t it.
  • St. André Bessette Catholic School
    St Andre use to be a good enough school but over the past year it has by far become one of the most toxic environments you can send your child to. *** was the worst principal by far I have seen at this school. *** is right up there with her. Complete lack of diversity for the increased population of black children. With an increased level of racism coming from teachers to students. I hope at some point the ministry steps in and cleanses up this school.
