Bekid platform: an environment to help combat bullying at school

In recent decades, the school environment has been the scene of several cases of violence. Among these, bullying attracts attention due to its negative impacts on the personal and educational development of students. In view of this, it is necessary to think of urgent solutions to help combat this type of problem. Technological advances and the innovative environment have provided the use of tools that can assist decision-making in the school community. Therefore, the objective of this work was to develop a web platform to help identify possible cases of bullying in the school environment. The bekid system connected several important functionalities, such as: sharing information about bullying, monitoring students over time, collecting information about emotions, generating reports and a management platform for the school. It is important to highlight some of the contributions of the application created: it allows students to get closer to the school, provides better conditions for reporting aggressions and requests for help, maintains the anonymity of those who report it and can be an initiative to break a cycle that is often perpetuated by silence. This system can serve as a starting point to support strategies for dealing with bullying. All of these measures aim to help students feel in a safe environment that is conducive to the development of their learning.
