Valladolid, May 27, 2025.- The delegate of the Government of Castilla y León, Nicanor Sen, closed today in Valladolid the II Training Days of Trainers of the Master Plan for the coexistence and improvement of security in educational centers and their environments.

These days are organized by the Government delegation in Castilla y León, the High Inspection Area of Education and Gender Violence Units in collaboration with the SES Coordination and Studies DG, Ministry of the Interior.

The objectives of these days are to sensitize students about respect for fundamental rights and the values of equality and human dignity, bringing them all available police resources, and to train them in the early detection of crime or possible victimization.

In his speech, Sen stressed that it is advisable to update this type of training every year to students “listening to their needs and adapting to the new challenges since the safety and welfare of citizens are our priority”.

Preventing and detecting youth risk situations

The main objective of the “Master Plan for Coexistence and Improvement of Security in Educational Centers and their Environments” is coordination between the educational community and the Security Forces and Bodies, to provide young people with the necessary knowledge and tools, in order to prevent or detect situations of risk that may affect their security.

The Educational Center intervenes in the learning and development of children and adolescents and therefore the educational community, families and the State Security Forces and Bodies are a permanent link and an open communication channel with adolescents.

In order to improve the knowledge of police resources and crime prevention, as well as the protection of victims, monographs and training and information activities adapted to the level of the participants are promoted. These activities serve to improve coexistence and security in the school environment, reinforcing knowledge and trust in the police forces.

7,000 activities in 878 centres in Castilla y León.

Within the framework of the Master Plan 2023-2024, almost 7,000 activities were carried out in 878 centres in Castilla y León. A total of 6,814 hours taught to students and families among all the planned activities.

These activities bring the figure of the police officer closer to the student as a positive and close reference. It is about sensitizing schoolchildren about knowledge and respect for rights and duties as citizens and training them in the early detection of crime
