In my essay I'm studying what aspects of the school environment that influences the pupils experience of safety and what aspects that strengthens the experience of safety. I'm introducing three different dilemmas from three different places in the school environment. The three dilemmas have that in common that they focus on safety. I'm introducing the after-school centre commission according to the National Agency for Education, presenting results and theories from various researchers and authors about how you can work with safety regarding children's development and learning. My conclusion is that safety is a very important aspect when it comes to learning and for the overall development of children. The safety is affected by both the social environment and interaction between pupils and the relationship between the child and the pedagogue. It is also important that everybody that works in a school organizes their work in such a way that the pedagogical environment of the children is safe and secure. My conclusion is also that the pedagogues play an important role in the development of the pupils. In particular by offering safety, notably for the children that lack that in their home environment. Close ties, stability, yardsticks and working with social skills should be a part of the everyday life in a school environment.
