HWDSB Human Rights Policy

HWDSB is developing a pillar human rights policy to help everyone understand their human rights, roles and responsibilities in HWDSB learning and working spaces. The human rights policy will serve as an anchor to related policies and further HWDSB’s commitment to foster and maintain a culture of human rights.
Engagement and Listening Sessions
We are committed to developing a policy that reflect the voices of the communities we serve, especially those that often experience discrimination due to their race, gender, disability, ethnicity, religion, place of origin, ancestry, sex, gender identity, gender expression, sexual orientation, age, family status and other reasons. All HWDSB community members(students, parents, caregivers, guardians, staff, volunteers, community partners and community members)are invited to share their perspectives to inform the human rights policy and procedure.
There are four ways for students, staff, families and community members to get involved:
•Complete the human rights policy survey-open until January 5, 2022  at:                      https://ca.research.net/r/HumanRightsPolicySurvey
•Share responses to the Human Rights Policy discussion questions by emailing written, audio or video submissions to [email protected].
•Send responses anonymously through this anonymous form-https://ca.research.net/r/HumanRightsPolicyQuestions2021-2022
