ACER to Distribute the Friendly Schools and Families Program

Friendly Schools and Families Logo"The Friendly Schools & Families Program offers practical guidance, a plethora of strategies for each component of a Whole-school Program (including ethos, policy and practice, physical environment, social environment, engaging families, learning environments and behaviour management) and tools to assist with their implementation, as well as case studies to demonstrate how other schools have tailored and used these strategies. The Program challenges and encourages schools to examine how their organisation, ethos, learning environments and responses to bullying inhibit this behaviour and enhance social skills.

The Friendly Schools & Families Program is an evidence based program that suggests that when implemented as a whole – bullying can be effectively tackled. This Program will greatly assist schools with the process."
