What procedure is followed when a school violence case occurs?

When a school violence issue is raised, an initial review procedure is first conducted centered on the school's internal dedicated organization.

Immediately upon recognizing the matter, the school principal instructs verification of the facts regarding whether the act was perpetration or victimization, and the school violence dedicated organization comprehensively reviews whether the case falls under the subject of the school principal's autonomous resolution.

Based on the investigation results, the school violence dedicated organization organizes opinions on the processing direction and reports them to the school principal.

Subsequently, based on this, the school principal decides whether to conclude with autonomous resolution by the school principal or to refer it to the School Violence Countermeasure Deliberation Committee.

In addition, the dedicated organization conducts school violence prevention activities and actual condition surveys separately from case investigation, and if necessary, the survey results may be used as reference materials in subsequent procedures.

In school violence cases, depending on what judgment is made at the initial investigation stage, the level of measures imposed on the perpetrating student and whether records are kept may differ, so organizing facts and strategic response from the initial response stage are important.
