Along with the online reporting tool, there are a variety of other resources such as: online safety, mental health and well-being, racism, bullying, school safety, sexual orientation and gender identity, substance abuse, compassionate systems leadership and gender-based violence. Check out the link and let’s all work to keep LSS safe https://www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/erase
