School violence is a sad reality encountered by whoever takes up the responsibility for the safety of learners and teachers. Both teachers and learners have the right to feel safe and secure at school. The aim of the study was to investigate how school management teams and school governing bodies take reasonable measures to ensure the safety and security of learners at schools. A mixed-methods research design was used in this study. The quantitative data, collected through questionnaires, were analysed through Statistical Package for Social Sciences version 23, while the qualitative data, gathered through semi-structured interviews, were thematically analysed. The study revealed that successful school leaders have the potential to tremendously reduce safety and security challenges when necessary support is provided. Establishing partnerships with other sectors not only manage and improve the learners' behaviour and lessen learning difficulties but also create a more supportive climate within the school, home and society. Unavailability of school psychologists and/or social workers who would join forces with teachers, parents, and other professionals to create safe and supportive learning environments increase the manifestations of school safety and security challenges.1 online resource (xiv, 272 leaves)enUniversity of VendaEffective schoolUCTDSchool safetySchool violenceSecure schoolSchool Management Teams363.1193710968257School violence -- South Africa -- LimpopoViolence -- South Africa -- LimpopoSafety education -- South Africa -- LimpopoSafety education, Industrial -- South Africa -- LimpopoTeaching -- South Africa -- LimpopoThesisSinthumule DA.
