Your center is not required to have an anti-bullying policy.  However, having one can be extremely helpful.  In order to stop or prevent bullying on a center (or anywhere!) procedures have to be clear and sanctions have to be uniformily enforced.  Creating a policy will help to get everyone on the same page, so to speak. 

Two documents to help you create a center-specific policy are located in this portion of the toolkit: a Sample Anti-Bullying Policy (available in MS Word or Adobe PDF) and an Anti-Bullying Policy Checklist.  The sample policy contains language that you can use to create a policy for your center.  It is posible to copy the examples as is and use them as your policy; however, that is not recommended.  Your center is different from every other Job Corps center and it should have it's own, unique policy.  The sample contains suggestions that may be used or changed to suit your specific needs.
