Why do so many schools focus solely on behaviour policies when what we really need are relationship policies? By fostering strong relationships between staff, students, and families, schools can reduce conflict, support students’ emotional well-being, and create a more inclusive and nurturing space for learning. Let’s move away from punitive approaches and towards compassionate, relationship-based models that help every child thrive. It’s time to shift the focus from control to connection.

What Makes a School Safe? When we think about a safe school, it’s not just about fences or security guards, it’s about creating an environment where students feel protected, supported, and valued every day. So, what actually makes a school safe? Let’s break it down. 1. Physical Safety: Secure entrances, well-maintained classrooms, and emergency plans in place ensure students feel safe moving around. 2. Emotional Safety: A supportive, inclusive culture where bullying and exclusion are not tolerated. Every student should feel they belong. 3. Psychological Safety: A place where students feel respected, trusted, and free to express themselves without fear of ridicule or punishment. 4. Safety from Violence: Proactive conflict resolution strategies, teacher training, and clear anti-bullying programs help prevent violence before it starts. 5. Inclusive Safety: A safe school celebrates diversity and ensures every student, no matter their background, feels welcome and included. A safe school is one where students can thrive emotionally and academically. It’s a team effort; teachers, parents, students, and the community all play a role. What makes a school safe in your experience? Let’s discuss! #ThePeaceShaper #SchoolSafety #Education #SafeSchools #StudentWellbeing #ConflictPrevention

When talking to young people about substance use, it is most useful to openly communicate the facts, without lecturing or exaggerating. Teachers` self-efficacy is one of the urgent factors to determine the success of substance use prevention in school because it has related to teachers` belief about their capabilities to organize and execute this matter #InvestInPrevention
