A man in a van should have attracted children with alcohol and tobacco

The described event, which should not have happened in connection with any school, came to the Rector's School's knowledge at the beginning of the week, and she then chose to release information to all custodians. Subsequently, Peter Ledin, Development Coach at Eskilstuna Municipality, has informed all the Heads of the Eskilstuna Primary School.

- First and foremost it is about children's safety. It is also good if all the principals receive the same information and based on it can answer questions from worried parents and inform their staff of what has happened.

How the principals then choose to act is up to each school, says Peter Ledin.

- We are happy to answer questions, but it is the principals who are responsible for their respective schools and, for example, decide whether the parents should be informed. And it can differ between schools how to choose. Another purpose of the email was to counter the spread of rumors that easily arise on social media otherwise.

Yesterday there was also information that a person near Skogsängsskolan tried to lure children with candy, something that the school informed guardians via Vklass which is a communication system. However, that information was taken back by the school management, as it turned out to be something completely different.
