Abstract :This study aims to compile existing research in the literature to demonstrate the methods used in collaboration between social services in order to establish a secure school climate. In today\'s context, the role of schools in child development ranks among the highest in terms of significance. Children spend a significant portion of their days within school environments. There exist numerous factors within schools that influence the lives of children. Teachers, classmates, school authorities, the surrounding environment, and even the physical structure of the school impact the development of children, collectively forming the school climate. Acts such as violence, harassment, bullying, neglect, abuse, substance abuse, discrimination, and inequality pose threats to the school climate, making it unsafe. A secure school climate plays a crucial role in enabling students to effectively complete their education. Collaborative efforts involving social services, law enforcement, and school staff are crucial in ensuring a secure school environment. This study delves into the implementation methods of school policing worldwide while exploring the potential contributions of social service support to this practice.
