The Society for Safe and Caring Schools and Communities

Focusing on adult modeling, SACS programs prevent negative social behaviour through character education, conflict management training and building respect for diversity. They promote a problem-solving approach to discipline that encourages positive social behaviour by expecting young people to fix the wrongs they have caused, thereby learning from their mistakes.

All Safe and Caring Schools and Communities (SACSC) programs focus on the following five topics:

Living Respectfully
Developing Self-Esteem
Respecting Diversity and Preventing Prejudice
Managing Anger and Dealing with Bullying and Harassment
Resolving Conflicts Peacefully
