Speak Out Schools & Colleges Edition
makes it easy for anybody to report in confidence
at the time and place of their choosing, and to stay
in control of how the incident is managed and monitored.
Encouraging disclosure is the first barrier to dealing
with bullying in schools and colleges. A lot of young
people find it hard to talk one-on-one to adults and
their peers, about bullying.
IDs can be given to parents or guardians to get them
involved in the struggle against bullying.
Although the service is provided to many establishments,
every school or college has its own dedicated database,
so you can be even more sure that nobody is snooping
on your data.
Every schoolchild, teacher and support worker
is given a unique password protected ID.
Reporting is a straightforward point-and-click process.
The reporter is taken through the sequence, step-by-step,
and can give as much or as little information as they
like.
They have the option to suggest how they want the
incident dealt with and, importantly, by whom.
As a teacher or support worker you have access to
all the information and functions you need to deal
with bullying incidents.
Speak Out Now will alert you to those incidents that
you should look at with more urgency, and then allow
you to build cases, add free-form notes, assign the
incident to somebody else, and communicate with the
reporter securely and confidentially through the Speak
Out Now system.
Simple Deployment
Getting Speak Out Now deployed in your school
is as easy as 1,2,3!
1. We create your school's personalised online Speak
Out Now presence, and provide you with your administration
user ID and password.
2. You log on and follow the 'Up and Running' administration
guide. This walks you through everything you need
to do to get everybody in your school ready to use
Speak Out Now and should take even the biggest technophobe
less than two hours!
3. Print and distribute the user details slips to
your school population.
Now every child in your school has a voice!
Easy & Safe
Reporting
The Speak Out Now system makes the incident
reporting process as safe and simple as possible.
Safety
The safety aspect is all about the ability of the
reporter to choose the time and place. The beauty
of an internet system is that they can report from
anywhere they have access to the internet. That's
in the library, in an internet cafe and - for a large
and growing number of children - in their own home.
Simplicity
The simplicity is in our step-by-step, point-and-click
interface.
The child simply has to log on then follow the process
through a handful of steps:
- Identify the victim or victims.
- Identify the bully.
- Identify the bystander.
- Provide some optional details about the incident,
and say who it is to be reported to, and how it
is to be treated.
- Review and Check the report.
- Report it!
Secure Communication
Once a report has been made the person dealing with
it will probably need to chat further with the reporter
as part of the ongoing resolution process.
Speak Out Now makes secure communication
as easy, safe and secure as the reporting process
itself!
The last thing a reporter wants - having taken such
pains to report in confidence - is for a teacher or
peer mentor to have to approach them in the playground,
or send them an email that pops up on the screen while
they are playing games round the computer with their
friends.
To avoid this, Speak Out Now provides a messaging
service - something like a cross between email and
Windows Messenger - to allow the conversation to continue
privately within the Speak Out System, and on the
reporter's terms.
It's a simple but brilliant idea!
Incident Management
Tools
Speak Out Now provides a toolkit for tracking
and resolving reported incidents.
For teachers and peer mentors dealing with a reported
incident is difficult enough, and the last thing we
want to do is put another strain on their workload.
Speak Out Now makes tracking and reporting the status
of incidents simple - we think it's easier than having
to keep records in most traditional paper-based systems.
Note-keeping, reassignment, closure of resolved incidents
and much more is possible with a click of the mouse.
Speak Out Now ensures that records are kept, and
that no incident 'slips through the net'.
Identify
Troublespots
Speak Out Now is an active ally in raising
awareness of potential troublespots.
By utilising the cleverly designed management reports
in Speak Out Now you can identify the time and places
in your school where most bullying occurs. By having
this information you can better target your resources
to stop bullying at it's root.
Speak Out Now will let you identify those people
most often reported as bullies, victims or witnesses.
This information rarely paints the most obvious picture.
It is possible, for instance, that somebody recently
and repeatedly accused of bullying is the victim of
a bullying campaign themselves. Only by having this
information on hand can you have a chance of making
the right judgement.
Only you know how your school works, and the ever
growing-list of reporting options in Speak Out Now
will let you focus in on the information you need
to reduce bullying and identify the targets and perpetrators.
