Some students will not say it out loud. A form lets them write it down in their own time and tell the school what happened. I would rather hear early. The form owner reads each report as a row in a sheet.
Use this when
You want a calm, written route for students, parents or staff to report bullying, including online, and someone reads the reports every school day.
Skip it when
Someone is in danger now. Tell a member of staff in person or call the emergency number. A form is read later, and nobody may be watching it at that moment.
What is asked and why
- Role, name and email: so you know who can answer follow-up questions. Name and email are optional.
- Who, when and where: a clear picture of one event.
- Kind of behaviour and how often: helps you judge urgency.
- What happened, and a link: the account in the reporter's own words.
- Safe right now: the question to read first.
What a student's AI would ask
"Who was affected?" Then "Where did it happen?" Then "Does the student feel safe at school right now?" It shows every answer and sends only after a yes. Read about agent-fillable forms.
Before you share it
This is a form, not legal advice. Have your school or district check wording that has legal weight, and follow its reporting policy. See forms for schools. A progress report can track a student after an incident, and a volunteer application form helps you recruit more break-time helpers.
Questions
Can someone report without giving their name?
Yes. Name and email are optional in this template. Without contact details you cannot ask follow-up questions, so tell people what the trade-off is.
Who sees the reports?
Only you, the form owner, through the dashboard, the API or a CSV. Share the link widely, and keep the data with the few people who must act on it.
What about bullying that happens in online messages?
The form cannot take screenshots. Reporters can paste a link into evidence_link, or tell you they will show an adult in person.
