The key to exercise solutions in chapter 5f - Writing for the textbook On Screen B1+/B2 - Student's Book with authors Virginia Evans and Jenny Dooley from Express Publishing
Question
- List the suggestions and supporting points under the headings: EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION - AVAILABILITY OF INFORMATION - CREATE A SUPPORTIVE ENVIRONMENT.
- Write your report. Follow the plan.
Answer
a)
EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION
It would be a good idea to set up telephone help lines. By doing this, students can speak to someone in confidence. As a result, they will receive advice, for example, about what to do if they are being bullied.
AVAILABILITY OF INFORMATION
A further consideration would be to organise school safety talks. Experts can explain how to deal with aggression and bullying. This way students can be prepared if they are in a threatening situation.
CREATE A SUPPORTIVE ENVIRONMENT
One possibility is to step up security. Staff could guard entry points and patrol school grounds regularly. As a result, this will help keep unauthorised visitors out.
b)
