Crisis management for schools

Crises at schools often arise unexpectedly – an incident, a rumor, a media report. Suddenly, school administrators, teachers, and authorities are under pressure. In such moments, clear procedures, legal certainty, and communication that builds trust are needed.

Together with Rudin Cantieni Attorneys at Law AG, we support schools in all phases: before the crisis, in acute cases, and in the aftermath.

How well is your school prepared?
It is often only in a crisis that it becomes apparent whether structures are functioning. Prevention begins with the right questions:

Is there a crisis management team with clear responsibilities and procedures?
Is there an up-to-date communication plan for crisis situations?
Do teachers know how to deal with the media, parents, and authorities in critical situations?
Are employees trained in data protection, supervisory duties, and personnel issues?
Are ready-to-use templates (letters to parents, media releases, FAQs) available?
Is there a contact point that can provide rapid and competent support in an emergency?
