Bullying Resources-Survey


 As districts work to address bullying and harassment, one of the most effective ways to address bullying and harassment is to survey students. Attached here is a page of 13 questions from the Iowa Youth Survey (IYS) that may be used on an annual basis to gauge the climate and culture in a building. The IYS is free for noncommercial use. Your district may administer the IYS or a variation of the IYS, as long as the following guidelines are met: 
1. Please reference the IYS, along with the copyright (©The University of Iowa) in order to help guarantee that the IYS remains free. 
2. Do not reference the Iowa Department of Education (IDOE), the Iowa Department of Public Health (IDPH), or the Iowa Attorney General’s Office. Do not state or infer that use of the survey is endorsed by IDOE, IDPH, or the Iowa Attorney General’s Office. 
3. Know that the person or organization administering the IYS or IYS variation is legally responsible for the administration and should consult with legal counsel to ensure that survey administration complies with federal and state laws, including issues of consent. 

In addition to the survey, a toolkit is available to guide the discussion when reviewing results.
