Exemption from the duty to disclose information

The plan establishes that well-functioning schools are crucial for people to find constructive contexts, and wants to see a school with a broad mission and capacity to support each child. A reporting obligation that makes school staff reporters risks precisely that trust, and the plan also values personal integrity. Exempting school the same way as social services and healthcare follows from that.

• school as crime preventiondecisive»välfungerande skolor, meningsfull fritid och full sysselsättning är« (party programme ↗)“well-functioning schools, meaningful leisure and full employment are”
• school's mission is education»Vi vill se en skola med ett brett uppdrag« (party programme ↗)“We want to see a school with a broad mission”
• support for struggling students»ge skolan bättre resurser för att stödja elever som behöver det för att klara betygen« (2022 manifesto ↗)“give schools better resources to support students who need it to pass their grades”
• protection of personal integrity»har rätt till skydd av sin personliga integritet.« (party programme ↗)“has a right to protection of their personal integrity.”

The plan takes no explicit position on what the committee actually decided — often because the committee's reason was procedural. The stance is derived and fully cited, but it does not show the party broke a commitment.

The plan's bearing explicit commitment is that secrecy barriers between authorities shall be torn down so that police and other professions can do their job, and it explicitly wishes more cooperation between police, student health, social services and school to prevent young people from being drawn into crime. Exempting school from reporting requirements pulls in the opposite direction. The school exemption is not explicitly discussed, so the position is derived.

• tear down secrecy barriersdecisive»Sekretesshinder mellan myndigheter ska rivas så att polisen och andra yrkesgrupper kan göra sitt jobb.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Secrecy barriers between authorities shall be torn down so that police and other professions can do their job.”
• cooperation between police and school»Det behövs mer samarbete mellan polis, elevhälsa, socialtjänst och skola.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“There is a need for more cooperation between police, student health, social services and school.”
• stop recruitment»Ingen ung ska bli kriminell. Nyrekryteringen måste stoppas.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“No young person should become criminal. Recruitment must be stopped.”
• school as protective factor»Förskola, skola och fritids är de bästa verktygen vi har för att lyfta barn ur dysfunktionella miljöer och ge dem en bättre framtid.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Preschool, school and leisure are the best tools we have for lifting children out of dysfunctional environments and giving them a better future.”

The plan establishes that school should be characterized by trusting relationships and that crime prevention work is fundamentally based on reducing marginalization and vulnerability, and the election manifesto wants to strengthen student wellbeing support so that students in vulnerable situations receive support. The plan simultaneously opposes disproportionate privacy intrusions. That schools be exempted from the reporting obligation, like social services and health care, thus aligns with the plan.

• trust in schooldecisive»Skolan ska präglas av förtroendefulla relationer« (party programme ↗)“School should be characterized by trusting relationships”
• school attendance as crime prevention»Det brottsförebyggande arbetet är grunden för ett« (party programme ↗)“Crime prevention work is the foundation for a”
• strengthened student wellbeing»förstärka elevhälsan och satsa på fler skolsköterskor, specialpedagoger, psykologer och kuratorer i skolan.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“strengthen student wellbeing support and invest in more school nurses, special needs educators, psychologists and counselors in school.”
• no disproportionate intrusions»alla lagar som innebär oproportionerliga ingrepp i« (party programme ↗)“all laws that entail disproportionate intrusions in”

The election manifesto makes school results a main priority and states that school shall be a safe place where children can grow, with improved student health as a precondition, and that the first and greatest equality work happens in school. A duty to report that increases principals' administrative burden and may deter vulnerable students from seeking support pulls against that mission, and the party programme also requires integrity review of legislation. The plan therefore supports that schools are exempted.

• school's core missiondecisive»Att förbättra skolresultaten måste vara en huvudprioritering. Det vill vi åstadkomma med bättre stöd och fortbildning för lärare och rektorer, och rätt stöd till alla elever.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Improving school results must be a main priority. We want to achieve this with better support and continuing education for teachers and principals, and appropriate support for all students.”
• safe school and student health»Skolan ska vara en trygg plats — fri från rasism, homofobi och trakasserier grundade på kön — där barn kan växa och utvecklas. En bättre elevhälsa är en förutsättning för det.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“School should be a safe place — free from racism, homophobia and harassment based on gender — where children can grow and develop. Better student health is a precondition for that.”
• school as engine of equality»För det är i skolan som det första och största jämlikhetsarbetet sker.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“For it is in school that the first and greatest equality work happens.”

The plan takes no explicit position on what the committee actually decided — often because the committee's reason was procedural. The stance is derived and fully cited, but it does not show the party broke a commitment.

The election manifesto demands that the main rule becomes that schools always report to police and register concerns about suspected crime, explicitly so that police and social services always know about children on the wrong path in life. Exempting schools from the reporting duty goes directly against this commitment, as does the requirement that all schools strengthen their violence prevention work. The plan's desire to relieve teachers supports the counter-proposal's administrative objection, but does not outweigh the main rule.

• schools must always reportdecisive»ska huvudregeln bli att skolan alltid gör polisanmälan och orosanmälan vid misstänkt brottslighet.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“the main rule shall be that schools always report to police and register concerns about suspected crime.”

• schools' violence prevention»Alla skolor ska stärka sitt våldspreventiva arbete.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“All schools shall strengthen their violence prevention work.”
• relieved teachers»Lärare ska avlastas för att kunna vara just lärare« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Teachers shall be relieved so they can be teachers”

The party programme gives social services, the police and the school a major task in crime prevention work and requires that they have close cooperation to early prevent crime among children and young people, and the election manifesto wants to see a total review of the secrecy rules so that information can be shared. Exempting the school from notification obligation goes against that line. According to the plan, the school's knowledge mission is central, but is not a reason to lift the school out of cooperation against crime.

• the school in cooperation against crimedecisive»ska ha en nära samverkan med varandra för att på ett« (party programme ↗)“shall have close cooperation with each other to in a”
• information sharing against crime»Total översyn av sekretessreglerna, så att myndigheter kan dela uppgifter mellan sig för att förebygga och klara upp brott.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Total review of secrecy rules, so that authorities can share information between themselves to prevent and solve crimes.”
• increased detection risk»en ökad upptäcktsrisk för förövarna är viktigt« (party programme ↗)“an increased detection risk for perpetrators is important”
• the school's knowledge mission»Skolan har två huvuduppgifter: dels att stimulera elevernas intellektuella och praktiska kunskapsutveckling« (party programme ↗)“The school has two main tasks: partly to stimulate students' intellectual and practical knowledge development”

The plan wants to remove all secrecy barriers between social services and police and catch young people at risk early through a no entry programme, and it sees schools as part of safety work. Exempting schools from the duty to report would close precisely the information channel the plan wants to open. The plan's desire to reduce teachers' administration does not outweigh this.

• no secrecy barriersdecisive»Undanröja alla sekretesshinder mellan socialtjänst och polis« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Remove all secrecy barriers between social services and police”
• early detection of young people at risk»Ta bort sekretesshindren mellan polis och socialtjänst samt inrätta ett nationellt no entry-program för unga i riskzonen« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Remove the secrecy barriers between police and social services and establish a national no entry programme for young people at risk”

The plan explicitly wants to give schools the ability to intervene with tougher measures at an early stage and make schools a refuge from gang environments, and improve cooperation between authorities against criminals. To exempt schools from the duty to report would remove the role the plan assigns to schools. The plan's demands for reducing teachers' workload point partly in the other direction.

• schools part of interventiondecisive»Ge socialtjänst, skola och rättsväsende möjlighet att ingripa med tuffare tag i ett tidigt skede« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Give social services, schools and the justice system the ability to intervene with tougher measures at an early stage”
• schools free from gangs»Skolan ska göras till en fristad genom särskild placering av kriminella elever och nolltolerans mot attribut med gängassociationer.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Schools should be made a refuge through special placement of criminal students and zero tolerance for gang-associated symbols.”
