The members of the expert panels do not present specific individual cases to us, "the director writes and continues:" Both because the members are not allowed to pass on information of a personal nature and because we are not set in the world to act on individual cases. The members of the panels are unpaid and are not in an employment relationship with the Mary Foundation, just as none of them sit on our board. ”Finally, the director hopes with the announcement to give a true picture of what the foundation works with and for. »In the area of bullying and well-being, the Mary Foundation has for 15 years worked to develop tools for teachers and educators to better equip them to be able to prevent and deal with bullying.
