In order for children and youth to be successful in school, it is important that the learning environment provides a sense of belonging, acceptance, and safety (emotional, psychological and physical). To support student success, Alberta Education, through the School Act, is focused on ensuring schools are caring, respectful, safe, orderly, positive, productive, and free from the fear of physical and emotional harm.
Section 45(8) of the School Act states “A board shall ensure that each student enrolled in a school operated by a board is provided with a safe and caring environment that fosters and maintains respectful and responsible behaviours.

Un environnement bienveillant, respectueux et sécuritaire
Pour que les enfants et les jeunes réussissent à l'école, il importe qu'ils fréquentent un milieu d'apprentissage dans lequel ils développeront un sentiment d'appartenance. Ce milieu devra aussi être ouvert à tous et sécuritaire, émotionnellement, psychologiquement et physiquement.
Ce site comporte plusieurs renseignements au sujet de tels environnements ainsi que des liens et des ressources pouvant aider à créer des environnements d'apprentissage bienveillants, respectueux et sécuritaires.
