The National Framework outlines the expectations for school systems and schools to build into the process and policies in preventing and addressing bullying and other harmful behaviours.
The National Framework is intended to give teachers, parents, young people and children confidence that, no matter where a student goes to school, bullying and other harmful behaviours will be appropriately addressed and the school workforce supported to take appropriate action.
The National Framework recognises the need for a comprehensive whole-of-school approach that is appropriately tailored to local context and diverse student cohorts. The National Framework supports and builds on anti-bullying policies and guidance already in place.
