All students and school staff should feel safe and respected in Nova Scotia schools.

The Department of Education and Early Childhood Development works with Regional Centres for Education, the Conseil scolaire acadien provincial, school staff and many other partners to make sure Nova Scotia schools are places where students can focus on learning and staff can safely do their jobs.

Unacceptable behaviours, including all types of discrimination and violence, have no place in our schools.

Nova Scotia’s safe school strategy ensures schools have policies, procedures and resources that support our commitment to safe and supportive schools.
