    • Provide counseling and other necessary services for the victims, perpetrators and family members.

    will be taken against the reported student based       solely on the anonymous report;

    • Provide sanction to a student who makes false accusation of bullying;

    • Educate students on the anti-bullying policies and dynamics of bullying;

    • Educate parents and guardians about the anti-bullying polices, dynamics of bullying and how
    parents and guardians can provide support and reinforce policies at home; and

    of the students who were reported to have committed the acts of bullying must be treated with
    confidentiality and will only be made available to the teachers and school administration that are
    directly responsible for the said students and parents or guardians of the victims of bullying.
