‘The reality is that even within the school gates there is a problem of violence around the carrying of offensive weapons’

He said there was a “serious” problem of violence in schools and more support was needed for teachers.that although some teachers were asking for more protection, he felt the issue needed to be addressed with extra support for the children and their families rather than by “arming” teachers. He also claimed 40 per cent of teachers are saying that they have experienced or witnessed physical violent assault in their schools, adding: “That’s serious”.

“But there’s a dynamic in the relationship between teachers and pupils, which is fundamental, which we don’t really want to change, which is ultimately one which is built on trust, it’s built on mutual respect and we think that’s an important part of the way in which schools should be functioning.
