Prevence násilí ve školství

Realizátorem projektu je Unie zaměstnavatelských svazů ČR – centrum rozvojových aktivit a partnerem projektu je Krajská rada Odborového svazu pracovníků školství Jihomoravského kraje.

Tento projekt je reakcí na stále rostoucí počet případů násilí proti zaměstnancům škol v Jihomoravském kraji ze strany žáků/studentů nebo jejich rodinných příslušníků (tzv. třetí strany). Oběti útoku často končí v pracovní neschopnosti, čelí dlouhodobým psychickým problémům nebo dokonce opouští tuto práci a jdou dělat něco jiného.
To přináší ztrátu i pro jejich zaměstnavatele, neboť zaměstnanec, který je pod psychickým tlakem, často nevykonává svoji práci v potřebné kvalitě nebo, v případě pracovní neschopnosti, musí být za něj urychleně hledána náhrada.

Na to reaguje tento projekt, jehož cílem je připravit zaměstnance škol na prevenci vzniku konfliktů s třetí stranou, a pokud k nim dojde, umět je co nejlépe řešit. Dílčím cílem je i vytvoření institucionální podpory pro udržení výstupů projektu na základě lepšího sociálního dialogu, důstojné práce a zlepšení bezpečí na pracovištích. Absolventi kurzu obdrží certifikát, který bude prospěšný pro jejich další profesní růst.

K dosažení těchto cílů přispějí zkušenosti realizátora získané v předchozích projektech, které se zabývaly obdobnou problematikou v oblasti zdravotnictví a sociálních služeb. Obsah a metodika výuky budou aktualizovány i na základě dobré praxe norských kolegů.

Projekt bude realizován ve spolupráci zaměstnavatelů a odborů s cílem zlepšit sociální dialog prostřednictvím lepší komunikace, vzájemného porozumění a uplatnění principu win-win.

KA 02. Survey on the incidence violence in schools in South Moravian Region
In this activity the experience of a previous project were taken into account. In this project the survey of violence on workers from health and social services was also implemented. The questionnaire and methodology of survey were modified by project team members for the educational area.

The survey was based on questionnaires which were distributed partially electronically, partially via trade union units in respective schools.
Access codes for filling in the online version of the questionnaire were distributed to individual coordinators assigned target organizations. Coordinators for each target organization had to familiarize respondents in target organizations with the purpose of inquiry and motivate the respondents to complete the questionnaire. The collection of online questionnaires was originally planned in period 3. – 17.1. 2014, but finally the term of data collection was extended to 31.1. 2014.
Totally there were filled 2086 questionnaires. Paper questionnaires were completed at an earlier date than the online questionnaires, as they were distributed on trade union conferences which were held in each district towns. Outputs from a diagnostic survey in selected organizations were processed by descriptive statistical methods.
The questionnaire was filled mostly respondents aged 50-60 years (about 36%). Most respondents were from the district of Brno (about 31%). Most respondents were represented with a university degree (approximately 76%). The questionnaire survey was attended by three times more women than men (approximately 74%). Most respondents work in elementary school (almost 44%). The largest number of professions was represented by teachers - more than 68%. Most people involved had a professional experience of 21- 30 years (approximately 30%). The founders of the workplace of respondents (schools) are most public entities: region (41%) or city/ town (39%). Approximately 3.4% of respondents have a greater concern about the existence of violence in the workplace.
Of the total number, the largest percentage of respondents met with verbal attacks (18.3%). The following data: bullying/mobbing 5.6%, cyberbullying (1.9%) and the lowest recorded cases of physical violence - 0.8%. About 1% of respondents was physically attacked, verbal abuse was mentioned by the most respondents working in primary schools (22% of respondents working in primary schools) and later in school educational establishments (about 19% of the total number of respondents working in these type of school). Number of verbally attacked persons working at the elementary school is approximately 9.5% of all respondents. Also the "bullying / mobbing" are the most experienced form of violence in primary schools (7% of respondents working in primary schools). Cyberbullying occurs mainly in secondary and primary schools. Teachers are also verbally abused (about 14% of all interested respondents).
The report was submitted during February 2014, it was commented by project team and final version was approved on 7. 2. 2014.
The outcomes of the survey were widely introduced by a representative of Navreme Boheme at the final project conference, which took place at Vémyslice, South Moravia, on 13. and 14 November 2014.

KA 03. Study trips
Two Study Tours were realized during the Project. The first Study Tour took place on 23. – 26. 2. 2014, the venue was the UNIO office in Oslo. Detailed program of the tour was attached to the previous Interim Nr.2.

The second Study Tour took place in this Monitoring period (1.7.2014 – 31. 12. 2014), specifically from 27.10. to 30.10.2014. There were 13 people going to the Study Tour; detailed information including the list of participants, schedule of the tour and report from the tour are attached to this report (Annex No. 7). The Study Tour proved to be a great source of inspiration; we gained much experience and many examples of good practice in field of conflict solution, bullying and prevention of violence at Norwegian schools.

KA 04. Updating of the training course
External experts in cooperation with project team members prepared a curriculum of the training course “Prevention of the third party violence in schools”. The course takes five days and included the following topics:

The courses are organized in South Moravia towns: Brno, Znojmo, Breclav, Vyskov, Hodonin, Blansko. The selection of participants for each seminar was organized by team members from different types of schools (nursery, primary and secondary ones).
Study books for the participants of courses were written and printed. It is also possible to share them electronically.
During last monitoring period 4 courses took place in respective towns.
The average number of participants is about 30 participants on each seminar. The satisfaction either with content or with organization is very high. The topic (third party violence prevention) is so attractive, that the additional courses will be organized by public founders of educational facilities after finishing our ones.

Education was realized at 11 places, which was attended by 308 people (from that 48 men).

KA 06. Final conference
