Regina Anti-Bullying Complaint Guide for Parents

Education Saskatchewan 3 Minutes Read · published May 24, 2026 Flag of Saskatchewan

This guide explains how parents in Regina, Saskatchewan can report bullying affecting their child and follow a clear complaint process. Start with your child’s teacher and principal, then escalate to the school division or the school board if unresolved. For criminal harassment or threats, contact Regina Police Service. For public incidents outside schools, City of Regina bylaw or community safety units may assist. This article outlines practical steps, timelines, enforcement actors, common outcomes, and where to find official forms and contacts so parents can act promptly and confidently.

Overview of complaint routes

  • Contact the teacher or staff who witnessed the incident as soon as possible and ask for an incident report.
  • If not resolved, request a meeting with the school principal to review the school’s behaviour policy and any written incident records.
  • Escalate to your child’s school division or board (Regina Public Schools or Regina Catholic Schools) using their formal complaint or appeals process.
  • If the matter involves criminal conduct (threats, assault, stalking), contact Regina Police Service immediately.
  • For persistent public harassment or nuisance outside school jurisdiction, contact City of Regina By-law Enforcement or community safety services.
Start with the school and keep a dated record of communications and incidents.

Penalties & Enforcement

School discipline and municipal enforcement are handled by different authorities. Schools apply internal disciplinary measures under their codes of conduct; municipal bylaw officers enforce city bylaws; police enforce criminal law. Specific monetary fines for bullying incidents in schools are not a standard remedy; where municipal bylaws apply, fines and penalties are described in the relevant bylaw text or enforcement page.

  • School sanctions: warnings, behaviour contracts, suspension, transfer or exclusion from activities (monetary fines for student conduct are not specified on school or city information pages).
  • Police actions: criminal charges for assault, threats or harassment when evidence supports an offence; courts decide penalties.
  • Bylaw actions: for public nuisances outside school grounds, bylaw orders or fines may apply; amounts are set in the specific bylaw text and not specified here.

Applications & Forms

  • School incident or complaint forms: many boards provide an incident report or complaint form; check your school division’s website or contact the school directly.
  • Police reports: submit in person or by calling non-emergency lines for guidance; emergency incidents use 911.
  • Bylaw complaints: City of Regina has online reporting and contact pages for bylaw enforcement and community concerns.
If a specific form name or fee is required, check the school division or City of Regina pages for the current documents.
