Statsforvalteren’s enforcement in single cases (§12-6):

Statsforvalteren provides oversight to cases and/or processes. Statsforvalteren ensures that requirements are met regarding the rights of students, parents and the school.

Statsforvalteren can reject cases if:

• the case is not presented to the Principal
• it has gone less than one week since the cases was started
• the student no longer goes to the school they are making a complaint about
• they believe that the student has a safe and good school environment

Statsforvalteren can require schools to improve the situation related to school environment cases.

For example: if routines are not followed, unnecessary delays in handling the case or if measures are inappropriate. In addition, Statsforvalteren can override the school’s Action Plan and provide required measures to individual cases.

Statsforvalteren can decide on next steps in accordance with the school’s Code of Conduct (§10-7), or if a student shall change schools (§13-2).
