Background & Purpose

Schools need better tools to protect students and staff from crime. Sharing information helps ensure that students at risk receive the right support when they move to a new school or start a new school level.

The Decision

The Swedish parliament decided that schools must share information about students at risk of crime to ensure a safer environment for everyone.

Does this affect you?

  • Students at risk: They will receive better and more targeted support because their new school will be aware of their situation.
  • School staff: Teachers and principals get the necessary information to handle safety issues and prevent crime in the classroom.

In Practice

  • Information sharing applies when moving between different school levels, such as from primary to secondary school.
  • The goal is to prevent crime and provide better support for students at risk.
  • Teachers and principals will have better information to create a safe work and study environment.
