Geneva is going to force all those who work for the canton and are in contact with children or adolescents to be aware of cases of harassment or bullying – either in person or online.
It will involve around 8,000 people – from teachers, medical staff to librarians.
The cantonal Department of Public Instruction says the problem is ‘everyone’s business’.
Staff will have to take 5 one-hour online courses.
The programme is the brain child of the new State Councillor Anne Hiltpold who’s made the fight against peer harassment a priority.
