Duty to Report

Reporting violence helps prevent violence.

You are required to report violent incidents that cause, or could cause, physical injury, whether physical force is actually attempted, or threatened.

Your Duty to Report:

You have a duty to report violence incidents and/or harassment to your supervisor (P/VP) regardless of the assailant's age, grade, special needs, or other mitigating factors.

• Submit a workplace violence report (Online Accident Reporting Form).

• Submit and injury/illness report - whether you need first aid/medical attention or not.

• Submit a Safe Schools Incident Report - Form 1 to your supervisor (P/VP).

You also have the right to refuse unsafe work if you believe workplace violence is like to endanger you. Note that teachers must take into account the safety of students before refusing unsafe work (O. Reg. 857).
