- Schools can be an ideal environment in which to promote the development and dissemination of values of non-violence and respect for human rights among pupils and staff, and in the wider community. For this reason, schools in many countries promote restorative justice practices to prevent and respond to bullying and violence in the playground and address serious offences within the school, including rape.

Paragraph
SRSG on violence against children: Annual report 2012, para. 51
- Paragraph text
- This whole-school ethos was evident in the experiences shared at the Oslo meeting, including those designed to prevent bullying in schools. The success of these initiatives has been closely associated with the engagement of teachers, staff and students, as well as parents and members of the community. The reduction of incidents of bullying has equally been dependent on a strategic combination of factors, namely: - Sincere commitment to address this phenomenon, with the formal adoption and wide dissemination of anti-bullying rules, and their launch though an official school event; - The creation of a governance system in which all stakeholders participate; - The development of a monitoring system, through which incidents and issues of concern are periodically reviewed; and - The dissemination of anti-bullying messages in the community at large. The lessons learned from anti-bullying programmes provide a crucial reference to address other forms of violence in schools.
