What does that mean?

You don’t have to use your name, just use your voice.

Why SafeVoice?● What happens here at

school and in your life that would be helpful to be able to tell to an adult?Your voice can be the

difference.

When to Use SafeVoice

● If you or someone you know is being bullied

● If you are worried about a friend who is sad or doing risky things.

● If someone tries to touch you or a friend in a way that makes you feel uncomfortable

OR, if you see violence or weapons at school you can SPEAK UP!

Telling vs. Tattling

Keeping school safe

Someone could be badly hurt

Problem is urgent and important

An adult can help solve the problem

Avoiding Blame

Feelings are hurt

You think you will gain something from tattling

Problem is made bigger, not solved

Telling an Adult Tattling on a ClassmateUse SafeVoice to report serious problems and harmful bullying,

not when you have a playground argument or someone looks at you

funny, OK?

Let’s be kind

Who receives the SafeVoice Reports?● Law enforcement is engaged immediately for ‘911’

situations● A team here at your school of administrators and

counselors receives the reports multiple times a day and will start taking appropriate actions to intervene and support

● You won’t hear directly about the response because reporting is anonymous, but you can feel better knowing you stood up for a friend
