Let’s go back to our original checklist. Would you fill it out differently after read- ing this article?

Submit a violent incident report: Yes, as per MOL you must report all threats, attempts, actual physical force.
Call the police: It depends whether the educator requires medical attention from a practitioner.
Submit a Safe Schools Incident Reporting Form: Yes, as a serious student incident you must submit the form in a timely manner.
Call the parents of the students involved: No, it is the responsibility of the principal or designate to make contact.
Submit an accident/injury/illness reporting form: Yes, if injured now or in case an injury/ illness arises later.
How did your responses for this scenario
compare to the answers shown here? Do you feel better prepared to deal with a violent incident? Feeling distressed after a violent incident
and then having to navigate the maze of re- porting requirements can be daunting. It’s enough to discourage anyone from report- ing. Some educators may be further discour- aged by factors such as an administrator who dissuades them from reporting, a concern that reporting a violent incident will be seen as a weaknesses in their ability to manage a student or the belief that violent incidents are a part of the job. Whatever the reasons, ETFO members
are reminded that it is their legal responsi- bility to report, to know their reporting roles and to be aware of their legal right to know about a person with a history of violence. For more information, visit etfohealthand-
safety.ca, and for support, please contact your ETFO local or ETFO provincial staff in Pro- fessional Relations Services. n Nicolette Lane is an executive staff member at ETFO.
