How many situations involving threats and violence between students occur in basic education each year?

Did you know that no official, reliable national statistical data is available on the matter?

This book is aimed at anyone with even the slightest interest in basic education. Whether you work in the field or are a child's guardian, you will certainly find plenty of food for thought here.

This book addresses the obligations imposed by the legislature on teaching staff in basic education. Official guidelines are unavailable for many of these obligations, and compliance with the laws can be nearly impossible. We highlight various problems for which there are no easy solutions and call for such solutions to be developed.

For those interested in the field of education, the book offers numerous practical examples regarding various issues related to school safety. This book certainly deserves a place on the table in every staff room.

The authors of the book have been recognized for their contributions to safety in the education sector. Both have over 30 years of experience in the field.
