9th July 2019 Dear Minister,
Education and Home Affairs Scrutiny Panel
I write further to the Quarterly Hearing that took place on Friday 21st June. You will recall that questions were asked about incidents of verbal and physical abuse upon staff in local Schools.
The Panel would like to request some further information about the policy and support available to staff in these instances. Specifically, could you please advise:-
- What is the policy and guidance of the Education Department for staff to deal with incidents of verbal and physical abuse?
- How is the policy and guidance advised to staff and implemented within the Schools?
- Is there any requirement placed upon Head Teachers to record such incidents?
- If so, what is the method of recording the same and how is the recorded data collated and analysed by the Education Department?
- What emotional support is available to staff who have been the subject of such incidents?
I would be grateful of your response to this letter by Friday 26th July. It is the Panel's intention to publish your response along with this letter on the States Assembly website.
Yours sincerely,
Deputy R. Ward
Chairman, Education and Home Affairs Scrutiny Panel
