5. CESC Process
Incident
Somebody is nasty to you at school, calls you names, excludes you or hurts you.
Reflect
What can be done about this? Has this happened before with the same person? Did anybody else see this happen? Will this impact my life? Will this matter next week?
Report
Report the bullying to your mentor or House Leader. They will ask you to complete a pink form. Think about your answers to the above questions and discuss with your mentor.
Research
Your Mentor or House Leader will investigate the incident as soon as possible. They may speak to you again, other witnesses and the bully. It may take a few days, as we need to get the whole side of the story. If the incident is “suspendable” then this will happen faster.
Restore
Your mentor will discuss solutions with you. There might be an agreement in place about how you and the other person behave around each other in future. You will also sit down with other person and talk about the agreement and the effect of their actions.
Think about your part in the conflict, what you can do to abide by the agreement, and who can support you to overcome this issue. You need to put the conflict behind you and try to move on.

6. Put the steps into the right order.
Steve thinks about the incident and remembers Joe made a comment about his race in class last week. He decides he wants this to stop and talks to his mate Rachel about it.
Joe and Steve are playing footy. Steve kicks a goal and Joe tells him ‘go back to your own country’.
Steve’s mentor and the House Leader work out an agreement that the boys will not play football together, and will be on the same team in PE so they can learn to work together and support each other. Steve likes this agreement, but isn’t too sure about the last bit.
The mentor talks to Steve and Rachel, and the House leader talks to Joe about the incident. It takes a few days to sort it all out.
Joe and Steve still don’t like each other, but they follow the rules and nothing else happens.
Steve talks to his mentor teacher after school and fills out a pink form about what happened and the other incident too. .
The mentor, the House leader and the boys sit down to talk about the event. Joe and Steve agree to the new rules and shake hands.

7. Serious violence CESC deals with serious violence in a different way.
Anybody who assaults (punches, kicks, etc) another student is removed from the class/yard.
The parents of both people are called to the school and meet (separately) with the Principal
The victims’ parents are encouraged to press charges with the police if the incident is very serious.
Suspension will most likely follow for the bully.
When bully and victim return to school, there will be a restorative meeting to work out new rules for the group.

8. Questions
What type of bullying is serious violence (verbal, relational, cyber, etc)?
What do you think might happen in a restorative meeting?
What does it mean to “press charges” with the police?

9. Bullying vs. Friendship Issues
You’re never going to get along with everybody. So, what’s the difference between friendship issues and real bullying?
Bullying causes real harm. It is intended to be nasty, to make the person feel bad and to upset them.
Friendship issues can hurt. A lot. But the person often doesn’t mean to hurt you, or it’s not an on-going issue.
