One in six support workers say they suffer violence on a daily basis in our country’s classrooms, while one in three are attacked every week - with staff being punched, kicked and spat on.
Staff exposed the daily onslaught of abuse after the Daily Record’s Our Kids... Our Future campaign highlighted a series of sickening attacks involving children.
“That is bad enough but the absolute failure of management to protect staff, reassure them this crisis is being taken seriously and deliver effective training and reporting procedures is equally alarming.

It will bring teachers, union chiefs, education experts and politicians together to thrash out a plan to tackle the issue. Her mum Angela, 44, said: “It is unfair on teachers and school staff that they are having to pull children apart while also trying to do their jobs. Trying to teach a class of 30 children while tailoring to all their needs and making sure they’re not fighting with one another isn’t manageable.
And in a major victory for the campaign in April, First Minister Humza Yousaf pledged to work with our paper on targeting youth violence, with the Scottish Government pledging to invest £2m to protect young people in Scotland. A Scottish Government spokesperson said: “It is vital that teachers and school staff are able to work in a safe, welcoming and supportive environment.
The woman who asked to remain anonymous, has supported primary children with additional needs for more than ten years.“We used to have maybe six incidents a week before Covid, now there will be six incidents on a Monday. “You can’t talk to your family or colleagues about it because you’re warned it would be a breach of privacy so there’s no one to talk to. We feel muted, silenced.
