Bavaria's schools ready for an emergency: security through crisis teams!

After worrying incidents in Europe, including a killing spree in Graz, the debate about security measures in Bavaria is exciting in schools. The Willi-Graf-Gymnasium in Munich was particularly active in this context: During the Easter holidays, the police organized a large-scale exercise with around fifteen emergency vehicles. This exercise was supposed to train the tactics in life -threatening positions and was inspired by the events in Graz, where a former student tragically cost nine students and a teacher and then died. Br.de reports that the police in Graz was within eight minutes after the first radio message in the school building, which can be attributed to years of training.

Christian Lindstedt, spokesman for the Swabian South/West police headquarters, emphasizes how important these exercises are for the emergency services. In Bavaria, detailed regulations and security concepts apply to around 4,600 state schools that have to be updated and practiced regularly. At the middle school in Munich-Moosach, for example, there is an emergency plan that informs all stakeholders-from the police to parents to students-in the event of an emergency.

emergency plans and crisis teams

A central component of these emergency plans are checklists and special code words that should enable a quick reaction from the teachers. Since 2013, Bavarian schools have also been obliged to form crisis teams that consist of school psychologists. In cooperation with the police and fire brigade, these teams develop security concepts that are adapted to the specific conditions of the schools. This is particularly important for schools with students from migration families who may have suffered trauma.

The emergency plans should not only help the teachers, but also offer the students security and reduce fears by giving clear instructions for action. In the event of a crisis, the "crisis intervention and coping team of Bavarian school psychologists" is activated, which consists of 140 specialized specialists. These not only offer helpful support in crisis situations, but also advanced training for teachers. also provides comprehensive information on the handouts that help you have an effective To implement crisis team.

prevention and aftercare

The handout "crisis intervention at schools" aims to improve both prevention and aftercare in the event of crisis situations. It offers helpful guidelines and materials that were designed especially for headmaster and coping with the crisis coping. Support in the areas of acute cases and aftercare is essential to ensure the quality of school crisis intervention in the long term.

In view of the current developments, it is obvious that security at schools in Bavaria continues to be a top priority. Regular training and well -thought -out emergency plans are indispensable steps in order to be able to react optimally to any dangers. The students and parents can therefore feel somewhat calmed that the security of their educational institutions is being worked on, and at the same time the schools are well prepared through close cooperation with the police and psychologists.
