The purpose of this thesis is to investigate how the school as a whole is working with crisis management. The purpose includes examining the readiness of both school teachers and leisure educators when it comes to dealing with crises that children undergo and also to study how they best can provide support for those children. Accordingly, this thesis aims to provide an insight into what the school's work with crisis management might look like. The basis of this thesis consists of six qualitative interviews with a principal, a school counselor, two class teachers and two leisure educators. The study shows that it is important to have a functioning crisis team and a well-made emergency preparedness plan, which the school in this study is considered to have. The crisis group is responsible throughout the crisis work, attends trainings and updates the emergency plan. It is also the crisis group's responsibility to ensure that the other staff knows about the emergency plan and its content and how they should proceed if a crisis were to occur. Some staff members participating in this study do not feel fully prepared to handle a crisis situation. However, it seems they have more knowledge of handling such situations than they think, since they know how to proceed if a crisis occurs. They also have good thoughts on how to support children who are in a crisis.
