Schools in the Rems-Murr district: protection concepts against sexualized violence required!
In Baden-Württemberg, the topic of sexual violence in schools has come into focus. According to current statistics, at least one child in every school class is affected. This is an alarming fact that calls for urgent action. The state's Ministry of Culture has therefore called for the implementation of protection concepts in all schools to ensure a safe learning environment. The Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sport also emphasizes in a comprehensive guide that schools should be safe places where children and young people can learn and work without fear.
Schools in the Rems-Murr district benefit from existing offers from the Safer District Rems-Murr (ISL) initiative. The ISL has already developed ideas that can be integrated into the protection concepts. In addition, the ISL took part in a competition run by the Ferry Porsche Foundation to receive additional support for its activities.
Protection concepts and support
The protection concepts that schools should implement aim to educate students about sexual violence and show options for action. There must be competent contact persons who can offer understanding and help. Sexual violence in schools, in sports and in the digital sphere is not tolerable, and schools have a responsibility to implement appropriate measures to prevent it.
The Center for School Quality and Teacher Training (ZSL) offers a service portal that offers schools support and guidance on this important topic. The information on offer is comprehensive; The ZSL provides specific training and organizes regular online consultation hours for questions and exchanges between teachers. This is to ensure that everyone involved is well informed and acquires the necessary skills to deal with this sensitive issue.
Particular attention is paid to the “Child Protection at School” guide, which was published by the Conference of Ministers of Education and Cultural Affairs in 2023. This guide provides schools with effective and practice-oriented tools for developing and implementing their own protection concepts against sexual violence.
Overall, it can be seen that, despite the challenges that sexual violence poses, the ministry is pursuing an approach through numerous initiatives and clear guidelines that supports schools in their responsibility and better protects children and young people.
