Girl stabs teacher and gets off with warning. It can only be a matter of time before the current culture of violence and the use of knives spreads into a school. This could easily have been someone not attached to the school on a vengeance attack. It is clear that the policies at this school failed. How robust are the policies in your schools? Can you reassure parents that you have robust policies to deal with incidents?
 
"Outdoor learning: Double dare"

DRUGS: What every teacher and parent should know.

  • If a pupil is hurt, the teacher is likely to be sued

  • The reality

The main legal duties lie with the employer, not the teacher – or even the head teacher, unless they own the school and employ the staff.

We can’t find a single instance in the past five years of a teacher being personally sued for compensation.

Over the years a handful of teachers have been prosecuted following very serious incidents, but only where they failed to follow direct instructions and departed from common sense.

Teachers who act responsibly will be on the right side of the law.

  • A compilation of child-safety films.

  • These films are ideal for teachers and pupils in first schools, parents, farmers and construction companies wishing to highlight specific dangers to youngsters when carrying out work near schools.
