Seduc's Safe School Program Team Participates in Training on Protective Practices in the School Environment with Segup
Joint action between Seduc and Segup aims to prepare professionals to prevent and confront situations of violence in the school environment
The State Department of Education (Seduc), in partnership with the State Department of Public Security and Social Defense (Segup) and the Pará Institute of Security Education (Iesp), conducted training aimed at military police officers and the team of the Educational Coexistence Advisory (ACE), members of the Safe School Program, from the Public Security and School Protection Center (Nuspe). The meeting was held at Seduc's headquarters in Belém.
With the theme "School Environment and Protective Practices: Training for Agents of the State Public Security and Social Defense System (Sieds), Protection Network, and School Community", the initiative aims to qualify professionals working in state schools, training them to identify and appropriately deal with situations of violence experienced by students inside and outside the school environment.
"This initiative from Segup, to bring the theme of violence that reaches schools to us, who are already working directly in the school units, is very important. This training was a starting point, along with the Security Center and the Coexistence Advisory team, formed by psychologists and social workers from Seduc, to present proposals and discuss integrated practice with the police of the Safe School Program," highlighted Colonel Dumond, police advisor of Nuspe at Seduc.
Professor Cattiane Vasconcelos, from the Public Policy and Social Prevention Directorate (DPS) of Segup, explained that the proposal is to expand the reach of the training, also bringing the training to professionals who work directly in schools. "Our target audience is the Military Police and everyone who is part of the school community. This is our first step. With this partnership, we will define which school to start with and promote reflective moments about the violence that so frightens the school environment. We want to show pedagogical practices and tools that can be inserted into the school context to reduce these situations," she emphasized.
In addition to the training held at Seduc's headquarters, other actions are already scheduled for the coming months, with three meetings planned in Belém and three more in municipalities in the interior: Cametá, Salinópolis, and Capanema.
The goal is to strengthen the Safe School Program and involve the entire school community, promoting a more protected and welcoming environment for students, educators, and other professionals.
