The Canadian Safe School Network (CSSN) is a national, not-for-profit, registered charitable organization with a mandate to reduce youth violence and make our schools and communities safer. CSSN was born of the Government of Ontario’s Safe School Task Force and was launched in 1997 by representatives from police, education and business communities.

It is important for children to feel safe and secure at school. Unfortunately, there are a multitude of factors and issues that continue to persist within schools. Physical, verbal and cyber bullying, adolescent mental health issues, discrimination and isolation due to various identities and crime in schools and communities are ongoing concerns across Canada. The rise of Social Media has turned bullying and harassment into an inescapable problem for many Canadian children. We believe that fostering a sense of shared responsibility about the issues relating to youth safety in our communities is fundamental for progress to be made toward creating safer and more secure schools.

For many educators, parents and community organizations, school safety issues are evolving at a rate with which they simply cannot keep up. That’s where CSSN comes in. We are here to help teachers, schools, school boards and the community at large deal with the onslaught of youth safety and inclusion issues that we now see daily across the country.
