(1) No.
(2) Each school undertakes curriculum programs which covers issues of violence and bullying. These programs are usually in conjunction with the Office of Crime Prevention (OCP) and the Education Department. The Constable Care puppet program also provides support to education agencies throughout the state.
Each metropolitan police district has a Crime Prevention and Diversity Office which deals with a wide range of Crime Prevention matters. Should a specific issue arise at a school a request can be made to the local Officer In Charge who will endeavour to have officers attend and speak with individual's or classes.
