Popis:	No research has verified the effectiveness of measures for the prevention of workplace violence in the school setting. The present project includes several steps: administration of a pre- and post-intervention questionnaire, training of workers and implementation of an awareness program, distribution of prevention material and qualitative and quantitative evaluation. The aim is to verify if the awareness program had an effect on the level of prevention management undertaken by the school and if there was any effect of the intervention on the wokers’ perception of the safety level of the setting and if the number of victims of violent acts and behaviors was reduced. The results of the post-test show that less physical violence was reported by the experimental group and less psychological violence by the control group. These results are discussed in relation to the implementation of the intervention.
