INTERNAL CRISIS PLAN
A series of plans of action follow this summary for a variety of potential crisis situations. In any major or unexpected crisis or emergency event, the crisis leadership group will meet to deal with the emergency and plan the next steps to be taken.
The crisis leadership group consists of 4 subgroups: the Leadership group, the Administrative group, the Communication group, and the Logistics group. Below is a very brief summary and translation of the description provided by Täby kommun.
The leadership group is made up of the principal and other Futuraskolan leaders (Head of Pre-Schools, and potentially another principal or Head of Schools). This group is responsible for analyzing the situation and making decisions about which actions to take, delegating tasks to both the administrative and communications group to ensure both documentation of the crisis occurs and the correct information is given to the appropriate people.
The administrative group is made up of an administrator and complementary staff members. This group is responsible for documenting the crisis & its development, ensuring that any documents or other information the leadership needs are available, and communicating the leadership groups’ decisions to the appropriate people.
The communication group is led by a person who is able to keep a cool head and communicate concisely and wisely. This group is responsible for communications about the crisis situation within the school, to parties outside the school, including parents, and ensuring that the information we have about the crisis is obtained quickly and is reliable.
The logistics group is led by someone who can take care of the basic needs of the school and the crisis leadership group. This group is responsible for ensuring that any technical needs the crisis leadership group might have are met, ensuring the premises are in good working order, and providing the crisis leadership group with food, drinks and the opportunity to rest as needed.
An internal crisis group will deal with other smaller emergencies or crises. The principal will decide whether the emergency warrants calling together the internal crisis group or the crisis leadership group. The internal crisis group consists of the principal, who leads the group, the coordinator, and other staff members, which could include the following: the head of pre-schools, the pre-school coordinator, and/or team leaders from here at Maskinvägen.
CRISIS PLAN – TÄBY KOMMUN
Täby Kommun has undertaken a revision of their crisis plan and the following is a summary of how the kommun will deal with a crisis that may affect large parts of the kommun.
Should a crisis occur in Täby kommun that affects or could affect the safety of the children at our pre-school, Täby kommun’s crisis leadership group will contact our crisis leadership group (krisledning) with information on the crisis and what steps we need to take.
Our crisis leadership group will then meet to discuss the crisis and decide on the next actions, keeping in mind that we are a part of the local Näsby network of schools and pre-schools, and that we may take contact with unaffected schools for assistance.
Should a crisis occur at our school which may have an impact on the kommun, or which may result in a need for help from the kommun, we can contact Täby Kommun’s on-call Crisis Manager. The principal will decide if this action should be taken.
To contact the On-Call Crisis Manager for Täby Kommun:
1.
Call 112.
2.
Ask the operator to connect you to Storstockholm’s Räddningscentral.
3.
Ask that Täby Kommun’s Crisis On-Call Person (Tjänsteman i beredskap) contacts you as soon as possible.

WHAT IS A CRISIS?
A crisis is defined most often as an event where one's past experiences andlearned behaviour are not sufficient to understand and mentally handle thesituation. Crisis Reactions are triggered by events that are so unusual and unexpected thatthey cannot be overcome with the resources that individuals typically possess in order to copewith difficult situations. The nature of the crisis is the emergence of a situation involving a threat of loss of any kind for the individual; for example, the loss of relative or workcolleague, work, identity, social status, financial security, reputation, self-esteem or self image.
(From AFS 1999:7)
Examples of conditions that may trigger crisis reactions:
Serious illness
Serious injury
Serious accident
Fire
Violence and threats
Disappearance / runaway

WHAT HAPPENS IN THE MOST ACUTE PHASE OF A CRISIS?
After the initial acute phase, it is important that the staff team and other persons concerned receive guidance and support from someone in the internal crisis group, or from another support system. Also the affected staff will receive help to structure future work with the children in the pre-school.
How to work further in the pre-school:
• Parental Meetings
• talk with individuals
Evaluate what is appropriate!
The meetings should be based on what has happened and is happening.
How to work further in the pre-school:
• Parental Meetings
• talk with individuals

The meetings should be based on what has happened and is happening.
It is important to listen and receive feedback. Listen without addressing and solving.
It is important that it may take time! Get help from someone from the internal crisis team if needed.
How may we continue to process the event in the group of children:
How may we continue to process the event in the group of children:
• Set aside time for regular discussions – Plan for future discussions according to the needs of the children (or affected)
Keep in mind that reactions in people can be different.
Every one reacts and mourns in their own way.
ALLOW THE GRIEF TO TAKE ITS TIME!
• Take care of children's requests.
• Allow them to draw and talk about what they think and want to express.
• Think of the parents of children in the group as a resource.
• Allow them to draw and talk about what they think and want to express.
• Think of the parents of children in the group as a resource.
Being in contact with the affected family:
To maintain contact with the family is primarily the responsibility of the principal.
To maintain contact with the family is primarily the responsibility of the principal.
Always ask first what the family would like and what requirements they have with regards to things such as a funeral, memorial service and in how they should be contacted.
It is important to be very sensitive to the family's wishes.
Keep in mind that all children in the pre-school may need help with how to show their participation and grief.
NORMAL REACTIONS TO SHOCK AND CRISIS
Crises are a natural part of life. The crises that our emergency document refers to are crises caused by external events that may affect us as people. It is important to know the different phases a person goes through in order to better understand our own reactions to the incident. It also facilitates ability to process the emergency event and increases our understanding of others' reactions.
A psychological crisis reaction is a transient process that can be divided into four phases:
1 Shock phase
2 Reaction phase
3 Processing phase
4 Reorientation phase
A psychological crisis reaction is a transient process that can be divided into four phases:
1 Shock phase
2 Reaction phase
3 Processing phase
4 Reorientation phase
The phases are clearer in larger emergencies. The total duration can last for a year or even longer. When experiencing minor shocks, the affected can go through phases 1, 2 and 3, where the phases may blend together. In this instance the duration may last for a day or two.
• The Shock phase starts during the development of the crisis. In cases of severe shock the shock phase can last for a moment to a few days. During this phase the victim tries with all his/her strength to keep away from the reality of the event. He/she has difficulty understanding what has happened. Some might panic and start to scream. Others become silent and paralyzed. Some weep or speak in a strained manner.
In this phase the person needs care and physical contact. He/she is not receptive to advice or information. He/she should not be left alone. A person may be in shock without any physical indication. Other should therefore, based on the crisis situation, expect that the person involved can be in a state of shock and act accordingly: Take care of the person, keep physical contact, and listen (keep quiet).
• The Reaction phase occurs when the victim can no longer keep reality from himself/herself and can no longer deny what happened. He/she begins to understand the meaning of what has occurred and grief and despair become overwhelming. It doesn’t seem possible to get through the situation and he/she is afraid of "going crazy". They dwell on problems and questions such as: "Why would this happen?" This is a way for him/her to deal with that whichis difficult. Elements of anxiety, depression and insomnia occur. During this phase the person is also not receptive to information – he/she needs to express himself/herself!
• The Processing phase means that the critical part of the crisis is over. One begins to feel that they are able to overcome the difficulties .When severe acute crisis occurs, the processing phase begins after 4-6 weeks. During this phase the victim now accepts what happened. During the processing phase the person is receptive to information and facts about what occurred. This phase may last from 6 months to a year.
• The Reorientation phase. In the reorientation phase, the person has made considerable progress in dealing with crisis and can start to see some hope for the future.
THE GRIEF BOX
There should be a grief box in the principal’s office.
In this box you can keep things that might help at a difficult time.
In this box you can keep things that might help at a difficult time.
These items found in the box may be used to create a calm and quiet area. Some of us might need just to sit down in order to process what happened, the area also might need to be shared with others.
The grieving can include: Candlesticks, candles, matches, a white cloth, tissues, music (CDs) and photo frames.
Once you have used the grief box, it is important to restock the
contents.
