Prevention means taking prophylactic measures to foster physical, mental and psychological health. One important aspect therein is education. Therefore, we consider the parents responsible for prevention. Our office for addiction prevention complements the duties of the legal guardians. As Office for Addiction Prevention we

• are in charge of questions and problems regarding addictions (substances and media).
• are a point of contact for parents, teachers and pupils.
• delegate to internal or external offices.
• inform teachers and encourage their conferencing.
• support teachers in organising class specific events, e. g. with external specialists.
• host a joint parents meeting for third, fourth and fifth grade. We inform parents, encourage exchange of experiences and strenghten their position.
• keep the awareness of addiction issues in the school alive, by e.g. initiating and supporting presentations and  trainings.
• compose a yearly statement of accounts.
• guarantee that at least two external experts are members of the Office for Media and Addiction Prevention.

You may contact the Office for Media and Addiction Prevention via the secretary’s office’s phone 061 331 62 50 or e-mail: info(at)steinerschule-basel.ch.

The Rudolf Steiner School Basel

• considers conflicts a chance for evolution
• preventively fosters the dialogue between parents and teachers – aiming to create trust and transparency
• differentiates following levels: disagreement, controversies, conflicts
• tries to offer low-threshold solutions
• engages in the dialogue
• never settles conflicts via the children
• does not address anonymous complaints
• avoids hasty reactions integrating the helpful effect of breaks
• exercises absolute discretion when conflicts arise, does not share information with unauthorised persons and does not forward unverified information
• strives for de-escalation, process-oriented objectivity and professional composure
• considers the fact that parents and teachers are contractual partners

In case of conflict, the Rudolf Steiner School Basel considers

• the wellbeing of the child/the class
• the protection of the parents
• the protection of the school
• the welfare of the teacher

In advance it sorts out the roles and competencies of the parties involved. It is especially aware of role conflicts.
If e. g. a teacher simultaneously is the father of a pupil.

• Or a pupil’s mother is simultaneously the mediator.
• In case of bias, the walkout is to be considered.
