"This is an opinion piece. It is the writer who stands for the views that are put forward in the text, not Against."

"the DEBATE. No teacher should be left alone with the responsibility to deal with violent and threatening situations that gets out of hand. Ultimately, it is the employer's responsibility. "

"We teachers require that it is the responsibility switches up, so that the disturbing våldspiralen in the school can be broken."

"Sveriges television presents recent statistics from the Swedish work environment authority, which shows that the notifications on threats and violence in the school increases. In 2018, received 845 complaints to the Swedish work environment authority, the highest figure in the last 5 years. Then, in 2014, over 3 000 notifications. It is an extremely serious development, although it is difficult to know if the situation in the schools has become worse, or if the propensity to report has increased. "

"But the figures show, in all the circumstances, that not enough is being done today to school administrators, teachers and students feel good and allowed to develop in the school."

"It is important that violent incidents will be notified. If the fear wins, so the situation will not be improved. It is crucial that the notifications are also taken care of in the workplace, to assess what has happened and how it had been avoided and that measures are taken to learn from what happened and prevent it from happening again. "

"We, your teachers, requires that municipal and independent skolarbetsgivarna ensures that there is always an active preventive work which involves both action plans, kompetensinsatser and risk assessments and also a functioning occupational health care and pupil welfare. School management and principals need to offer assistance and have established security procedures. "

"Sometimes the causes of violence directly skolrelaterat, sometimes rooted in family and hemsituationer. Often a key can be direct dialogue and good cooperation with parents and guardians. In other cases, cooperation and coordination with social services ochu002Feller police the important. "

"All violence is not characterised by difficult social or medical circumstances, but not infrequently, it is an essential factor. "

"We educators can do much both to identify pupils who, for various reasons distress and also weigh up the pupils' different prerequisites. Obviously this makes the work even more successful if we really get the time to work with colleagues devote ourselves to our students and their needs. And we shall, of course, always raise the alarm if we believe that students are living in unhealthy family situations, or moving in the destructive social environments. "

"However, we teachers do not alone solve the samhällsbrister, combat fully independent churches, segregation or exclusion. In this work need the whole society focus its energies. "

"It needs to be close cooperation and established routines between social services, the police and the school. Even civil society and the voluntary sector can often, with advantage, be involved in order to break a destructive development."

"For schools operating in areas with difficult social challenges, there needs to be sufficient economic resources, which compensates for the tougher starting position. But it is as much about organizing a holistic approach around the students ' life situation, including whether to reinforce the student health, to hire professionals who can help children and young people with it that are not included in the teacher's role and building the network around the students and student groups."

"All school leaders and teachers must have the right to a safe and secure workplace. And all students have the right to a safe and secure school environment. Safety and security is a basic prerequisite for teachers to be able to succeed with our educational mission. "

"The new alarming figures from the Swedish work environment authority must therefore be taken very seriously by the school employer and of the work environment. Now is a need for greater intensity in the work against violence and intimidation in the school and for a safe, educational and stimulating environment."
