GUIDE TO DEALING WITH VIOLENCE IN SCHOOLS - ALL POLICIES AND PROTOCOLS GATHERED

 Filenews 24 January 2026 - by Evangelia Sizopoulou



All policies, circulars and protocols that are in force and concern the treatment and management of school violence and delinquency, have been included in a comprehensive Guide, which will soon be sent to all schools.

The school units have been informed about this by the Ministry of Education, which invites their directorates to contact their relevant School Board or the Ministry's Warehouse to receive the Guide, to inform the members of the Health Education and Prevention Committee of the School Life and to use it in the context of the prevention and management of such incidents.

It is worth noting that recently, in the context of the implementation of the Action Plan of the National Strategy for the Prevention and Management of Violence at School, a poster has been issued with telephone lines, to which children, adolescents and adults can turn for support and help. The poster, which has already been sent in printed form to Primary and Secondary Schools, records the following important lines:

116111 European Helpline for Children and Adolescents

116000 European Hotline for Missing Children

1498 Drug use issues

1497 Trafficking in human beings

1480 Cyberbullying Topics
