- The idea is to have a camera in every corridor where the young people have their lockers.
There will then be three cameras, says Jändelskolan's principal Helen Sollin.
According to her, the staff and the union are positive about camera surveillance indoors.
- It is not the only measure we take.
It will be preceded by a number of other measures such as talks and contact with field groups and the police, says Anders Wiklander, head of security at the municipality.
Want to create security
Anders Wiklander says that the cameras are for the safety of students and parents.
The hope is that surveillance will reduce vandalism.
- Then we can use the money for something that benefits both the students and the municipality, he says.
The filmed material will only be reviewed when something has happened that can be classified as a crime.
Only Anders Wiklander and the municipality's IT technicians will have the authority to see the material.
The films will be removed after two weeks.
- One should always weigh personal integrity against the damages and costs, he says.
Outdoor cameras
The municipality has a permit to set up cameras outdoors.
According to Anders Wiklander, no permit is needed indoors as long as it does not concern areas the public has access to.
It is unclear when cameras can come up if it gets off.
- A risk and impact assessment must be written, says principal Helen Sollin.
The decision must also be anchored with the school's parents and students.
