Policies and Procedures

Protecting and Promoting Human Rights and Addressing Discrimination and Other Inequities:

The 吃瓜黑料网 is committed to creating, maintaining and promoting a school system that is free from discrimination and harassment, where our community 鈥� students, staff, families and community partners 鈥� feel welcome, and are included and respected.

All students, staff, parents, caregivers, and community partners should be able to move through our school system knowing that their rights will be protected. The well-being and academic success of our students and success of our system as a whole depends on this.

What is discrimination?

Discrimination is when people are treated unequally and unfairly because of their race, disability, sex, creed, sexual orientation or any other personal characteristic (鈥済round鈥�) protected by the Ontario Human Rights Code.

The Ontario Human Rights Code and the 吃瓜黑料网鈥檚 Human Rights Policy (PO31) prohibit any and all forms of discrimination in 吃瓜黑料网 schools and workplaces.

Discrimination can include comments, actions or decisions that make people feel unwelcome or uncomfortable, based on their identity or ability (i.e. on the basis of a Code protected ground). It can also include policies, rules, and ways of doing things that knowingly or unknowingly disadvantage some groups of people, while privileging others. The unfair treatment does not have to be on purpose 鈥� it can happen when a person or organization does not mean or intend to discriminate against someone else.

Students can face discrimination inside or outside of the school classroom by:

  • Students
  • Teachers
  • School staff
  • Other adults (e.g., bus drivers, volunteers, parents)
  • Other youth (not attending school)

All forms of discrimination are unacceptable in 吃瓜黑料网 environments. Sometimes, conduct outside the school or classroom can negatively impact the school environment, in ways requiring 吃瓜黑料网 intervention.

The 吃瓜黑料网 is continuing to take steps to:

  • Raise awareness and understanding about human rights and discrimination
  • Address discrimination
  • Hold people who discriminate accountable
  • Stop discrimination from happening again

What can you do if discrimination happens?

  • Tell us - if you are a parent or a student, report the incident to the child's/your teacher or school principal. If the incident involves the principal, bring it forward to the superintendent. 吃瓜黑料网 supervisors are required to share complaints against the school administration with the 吃瓜黑料网鈥檚 Human Rights Office.
  • Learn more - 吃瓜黑料网 policies and procedures (Parent Concern Protocol, Caring and Safe Schools policy, and the Workplace Harassment Prevention and Human Rights procedure, for example) have more information about how to raise an issue or concern, and what the 吃瓜黑料网 must do to address it.
  • Talk to your child 鈥� remind your child that they have a right to learn without discrimination. Affirm their different identities and abilities. If you or your child needs support, reach out to your school or community for resources that are available to help you. Remind your child that they should not discriminate against anyone.
  • Work with the school to find a resolution.

What will the 吃瓜黑料网 do if discrimination happens?

The 吃瓜黑料网 takes incidents of discrimination very seriously. The 吃瓜黑料网 has clearly outlined what school administrators and staff must do to understand, address and prevent discrimination in our schools. All 吃瓜黑料网 staff are expected to:

  • Stop, interrupt, name and report discrimination
  • Address discrimination by:
  • Prviding support for affected individuals to ensure their safety and well-being (through, for example, guidance counsellors, social workers or other relevant school or community counselling services
  • Hlding people accountable for their discriminatory actions, including by documenting and reporting what happened, and taking appropriate and proportionate disciplinary and/or remedial action
  • Examining and, where necessary, restring the school climate, considering what else needs to be done at the school to prevent discrimination from happening again.

We all play an important role in building a culture of human rights at the 吃瓜黑料网. We all need to encourage and promote healthy relationships and appropriate student behaviour, so that our school communities may be free of discrimination.

Helping students, parents and staff understand and address discrimination is essential to preventing discrimination. Together, we can create safe, inclusive and respectful school environments where all students are welcome, treated fairly, and can grow and thrive.
