About the Child and School Student Representative

11-12-12 04:05

Schools have a policy of zero tolerance towards degrading treatment. All children and students have the right to a school environment that is free from degrading treatment, harassment and discrimination.

The Child and School Student Representative, BEO, is a part of the Swedish Schools Inspectorate though it also functions independently. Together with the Swedish Schools Inspectorate, BEO has supervision over the section of the Education Act which deals with degrading treatment. We shall also, together with the Equality Ombudsman, DO, work to counteract degrading treatment, discrimination and harassment of children and students.

One very important task for BEO is to safeguard the rights of children and students. This means that we investigate complaints concerning degrading treatment and can represent children and students in court.
