Incident Reporting Tool
We have developed a secure incident reporting tool for the community to report instances of Islamophobia or racism that occur at the Halton District School Board (HDSB). Our service navigator will follow up, providing 1-5 consultative sessions to help address and resolve the issue.
This Initiative empowers families to advocate for their children's needs within the Halton District School Board. Our Systems Navigator is available to support families through 1to 5 consultative sessions, addressing any challenges their Muslim child(ren) may encounter at school. This tool created by the Muslim Advisory Council of Canada, will collect data on incidents while maintaining privacy, with the Halton District School Board only receiving information if families consent.
Our mission is to support and empower Muslim families in the Halton Region by providing the tools needed to advocate for their children's educational success and mental well-being, fostering a more inclusive school environment.
