Tackle school bullying and teacher misconduct with anonymous reporting tools
Elker equips Australian schools with reporting and case management tools to protect students and staff from harm. Bullying and misconduct can have a profound impact on a student's development and learning and damage a school's reputation. Implementing Elker builds a culture of transparency and trust while safeguarding your school’s integrity.
Reduce barriers to reporting incidents at school with Elker
Many schoolchildren choose not to report incidents of bullying and teacher misconduct. Studies have shown that students fear reprisals and have little trust that anything will be done, particularly when it comes to cyberbullying. Recent incidents at several Sydney high schools have also shown the weakness of existing systems to deal with teacher misconduct in a transparent and accountable way.
Elker offers a solution to these challenges by providing an anonymous reporting platform. Our software empowers students, parents, staff and the school community to speak up about bullying, harassment, and misconduct without fear of retaliation. By removing barriers to reporting, Elker ensures that incidents are brought to the attention of school authorities promptly, allowing for timely intervention and resolution.
Elker's case management tools enable schools to handle reported incidents efficiently. With streamlined workflows and secure data management, administrators can investigate complaints thoroughly while maintaining confidentiality. By fostering a culture of accountability, Elker helps schools uphold their duty of care to students and demonstrate their commitment to creating a safe and respectful learning environment.
In addition to addressing bullying and misconduct, Elker equips schools with the tools to support their staff. Our software includes features designed to identify and mitigate sources of stress among teachers, such as workload management and access to support resources. By prioritising the wellbeing of educators, Elker contributes to a positive school climate where all members of the community work in a safe environment.
By strengthening your incident reporting and management system, Elker helps uphold the integrity of the school, building trust and confidence among students, parents, and the broader community.
