Episode Details

Glasgow primary schools are facing a shocking surge in pupil-on-staff assaults, with over 2,300 incidents last term and a staggering 660 staff affected this year—part of a five-year trend that’s alarming educators and officials alike. While secondary schools saw a slight drop, primary schools, especially those serving additional support learners, are seeing steady increases. Local leaders call it a wake-up call, stressing that no teacher should face violence on the job—and that safety and respect must be prioritized for all. With collaboration from families and partners, the council is pushing for more resources and specialist staff to tackle root causes, aiming to restore classrooms as safe, supportive spaces where learning can thrive without fear.
