Increased Character Education, Community Partnerships and Parental Responsibility
are needed

Accidents, arson, stabbings, theft, vandalism, shootings, bullying.... The range of problems and threats facing schools from within and without is vast, and their number is increasing in many countries and communities. In response to these challenges in society and education, the range of approaches used to address these problems is also growing.

All members of our society agree that ensuring the safety and security of our children in their place of learning is a PRIORITY, but achieving this objective is not evident.

Prepare For Violent Emergencies

Violence can happen to anyone-male or female, children, teens, adults, older adults, or people with disabilities. You are not to blame. No matter what happened, violence is not okay. Violent people usually have many problems that they find hard to deal with, which can cause them to act out with violence.

Physical abuse includes hitting, pushing, shaking, slapping, kicking, pinching, choking, strangling, and burning. Physical abuse may come from a stranger, acquaintance, or from a close friend or family member. Many victims of abuse know their attacker

Crisis Planning and Management

Create emergency strategies that work. It is important to talk to students  in planning and preparing for emergencies. This makes a difference.
When should students be kept inside a building and when should they be left outside? How can planning be effectively realized, on a school and national level?  What are some hard-core and soft-core planning approaches? How do educators maintain a balance between “normal life” and keeping people safe?
