Relevance The article is devoted to the analysis of the psychological foundations of the safety of the educational environment. Safety for a person is one of the basic needs, and, consequently, not only a comfort factor, but also a criterion for the functioning, stability and development of a personality. Taking into account the variety of factors affecting education as a social institution, the author reveals the importance of subjective interpretation of the environment for the formation of an individual's mental activity in specific conditions.

The purpose of the study is to consider the phenomenon of security from the perspective of various psychological approaches, a psychological model of security is presented and psychological mechanisms of security are highlighted.

Organization and methods of research. As a complex systemic phenomenon, the safety of the educational environment depends on a large number of diverse conditions. The sociological analysis of education from the totality of influences in relation to the functioning and development of personality allows us to identify three levels of environmental safety factors.

The results of the study and their discussion. Summarizing the data of various authors on the problem of victimization of an individual, three main reasons can be identified for which a person risks falling into a dangerous situation: - the readiness of an individual to get into a dangerous situation - including the sick, the elderly, people with experience of being in the role of a victim; - the assumption (acceptance) of the possibility of crime/violence against a person – for example, criminals, aggressors, manipulators, as well as people with an increased level of anxiety; - naivety, lack of experience and knowledge about danger and self–defense is typical for people who are not socialized in this society, who do not understand its features, including children, migrants.

Conclusions. Thus, ensuring the safety of the educational environment as a complex system involves the analysis of external factors of various scales and the proactive building of the interaction of the individual with the internal components of the environment in accordance with objective circumstances.
