The anti-bullying day at school was established in 2015 and takes place every year on the first Thursday following the All Saints' Day holidays. It takes place this year on Thursday, November 9. On this occasion, the school community organizes various events in schools, colleges and high schools.

One national awareness clip the fight against school harassment, carried out by schoolchildren, is made available to schools. It's called "What if the other one was you?"

This day is an opportunity for the government to focus on two flagship actions in the fight against bullying in schools: the establishment of a questionnaire for students and the deployment of the pHARe program in all schools.

A questionnaire to "give students a voice"

The decree of 7 November 2023 specifies the terms of a new mechanism called “Harassment Investigation”. A questionnaire, adapted for each age group, will be distributed to students at least once a year from CE2 to terminal. It is to be offered to students as early as November.

This self-assessment grid completed by the student should allow school leaders and teachers to have a more accurate view of harassment at the level of a class, school or institution. And to adapt prevention and care measures accordingly.

This questionnaire is anonymous.

The pHARe program in all institutions

100% of institutions engaged

Membership in the pHARe program is now compulsory in all schools.

Established in 2021 and extended to schools and colleges in the fall of 2022, it has been extended to high schools since the fall of 2023. This is part of the interdepartmental plan against bullying in schools and cyberbullying.

The objectives of the pHARe program:

• provide all schools with a structured prevention plan;
• securing the teaching teams;
• create a “protective community” to combat harassment, including through “ambassador” students (schoolchildren and high school students) who are sensitized to the resolution of situations.

A No to Harassment Award

This prize will be implemented in 2024, as announced in the Official Bulletin of National Education on November 10.

It will be awarded to a collective project for CP students in their senior years. Under the guidance of the pedagogical and educational teams, groups of students will be able to create a harassment prevention medium (poster or video).
