This hands-on guide helps teachers understand the complexity and humanity behind school safety and security issues—and their role in promoting, using their professional knowledge and expertise, a safe school environment.

Each chapter is filled with reflection questions, tools, and "What would you do?" scenarios, making this the perfect resource to work on with a colleague or study group.

With the practical advice in this book, you’ll feel more prepared and confident to tackle difficult decisions on both a small and larger scale. .
