Pilot Student Safety Line
Dear Student and Parent/Guardian:
Today, the Toronto District School Board (TDSB) announced the launch of the pilot Student Safety Line, 416-395-SAFE (7233).
Although we always encourage students to talk to an adult they trust, the TDSB established the Student Safety Line as a proactive measure to help students report school-related or personal safety concerns.
The TDSB Student Safety Line is a confidential reporting line for TDSB students. All messages are anonymous, unless the student chooses to leave his/her name or personal information. All information will be dealt with in a confidential manner. Students can leave a voice message on the Student Safety Line without anyone knowing or finding out who they are.
School administration will be informing students about the importance and purpose of the TDSB Student Safety Line. More information about the TDSB Student Safety Line is available in school offices and on the TDSB website at www.tdsb.on.ca/395SAFE. There will also be an opportunity for you to discuss school safety issues at a School Council meeting at your school.
We believe that the Student Safety Line will help make our schools even safer, fairer and more caring learning environments so that all our students can achieve success.
Important: In an emergency, students should contact 9-1-1. Students can call the Kids Help Phone (1-800-668-6868) for counselling support.
For reporting information on crimes, students can call Toronto Crime Stoppers (416-222-TIPS). The TDSB Student Safety Line (416-395-SAFE) provides students with another option to report school-related safety concerns.
