Global experiences show that predicting instances of violence in the school environment is impossible. Hence, it is crucial that personnel and management maintain mental and organizational readiness encompassing a range of proactive measures to face and handle such instances. Contemporary research in this field serves to identify key factors in how effective crisis and security management can be used as a safeguarding tool for our schools. This essay serves to scrutinize and understand management efforts in implementing successful strategies, using two primary schools in southern Sweden. To conduct the inquiry, I have utilized semi-structured interviews with principals supplemented by relevant literature, implementation theories and Wilhelm Agrell’s model. I conclude that both schools embody aspects from complex and varied incidents with a base core model that provides structure. In large, I find that successful efforts, in part, can be attributed to regular rehearsals, exercises and discussions which form a core readiness. This essay intends to serve as an effective guidance tool for principles and school authorities, along with other relevant stakeholders involved in school crisis security management.
