Know the role
- An upstander takes a safe action that reduces the audience, supports a peer or gets adult help.
- Do not intervene directly when there is a threat, physical danger, a power imbalance or a risk of escalation.
- Student leaders do not investigate reports, promise secrecy or mediate unsafe situations.
Take safe action
- Invite an isolated student into a group, check in privately or leave a harmful audience.
- Get a trusted adult, use the school's reporting route and preserve online evidence without reposting it.
- Prevent online pile-ons by refusing to like, forward, tag or add hostile comments.
Build belonging
- Welcome new students with low-pressure invitations and clear information about activities.
- Plan adult-supported respect initiatives that are accessible and do not require personal disclosure.
- Reinforce the assembly message through student announcements, advisory prompts and visible help pathways.
