Prevention/Intervention

Which Prevention or Intervention Program is Best for Your School?

Every year, the climate of a school can change due to teacher and student turnover. Administrators without knowledge of the location, form, and students involved in bullying are less likely to develop effective interventions to stop or reduce bullying in their school. The Bully Survey System enables teachers and administrators to gain a comprehensive understanding of the bullying that is happening within their own school. Using the Bully Survey System informs prevention and intervention strategies by providing schools with individualized data on:

The prevalence of bullying
The frequency of bullying
Where bullying occurs most often
Characteristics of students who bully and are targeted by bullies
The academic, social, and emotional effects of bullying
Student perceptions of how teachers handle bullying
Student attitudes towards bullying

Additionally, by using the Bully Survey System, schools are able to provide stakeholders with concrete information on the effectiveness of their bullying intervention efforts.

Using The Bully Survey allows schools to know which program will be the most effective given their unique climate. This saves time, money, and increases the likelihood of implementing a successful intervention.
