Posted By Chris Pope Mike Stress ?

Posted By Deborah Armstrong Hi Mike Hope you have a couple of hours to spare! Slips and Trips appear to be the main headache within the education sector. Followed by Stress and Anxiety. Take a look at the following sites for information on accidents statistics. Unfortunately, the HSE do not appear to categorise accidents/statistics for the Education Sector, however this appears to be presently in development. The sites below offer information on the type of accidents/incidence which occur within the Education Sector - ie stress, anxiety. One of the sites below however does provide statistics for slips, trips and falls within the Education Sector. The ROSPA sites give a good insight into Risk Assessments to be carried out for School Field Trips etc. Take a look at each site - you should be able to get some valuable information for your interview. http://www.hse.gov.uk/st...ics/overall/ohsb0203.pdf - Occupational Health Statistics Bulletin 2002/03 http://www.hse.gov.uk/statistics/2002/lfsfct01.pdf - Levels and Trends in Workplace Injury: Reported Injuries and the Labour Force Survey http://www.hse.gov.uk/pubns/edis2.pdf - Preventing Slips and Trips Incidents in the Education Sector – HSE Information Sheet http://www.leedsmet.ac.u...nual_Accident_Report.pdf - Accident Statistics for a University in Leeds http://www.leeds.ac.uk/r...accidents/heiddosr02.htm - Statistics for 2002 collated from the returns of 100 higher education institutions http://www.hse.gov.uk/statistics/pdf/rhsslips.pdf - HSC Statistics of Workplace Fatalities and Injuries – Slips/Trips http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/education/2949297.stm - Schools told to reduce accidents – BBC News Article http://www.rospa.com/CMS/index.asp - ROSPA -Health and Safety at School Guidance Kind regards, Deborah

Posted By Clair Parfrey contact Alan at Alan@phoenix.demon.co.uk, he specializes in training people to manage aggressive behaviour of young people which might be something usefull to bring up at aninterview. good luck

Posted By Ron Hunter stress may well top most people's list, but what are the causes? Recent figures suggest that incidences of violence and aggressive behaviour are on the increase. Might be worth browsing the main teaching union websites - some good stuff there (EIS,SSTA,NASUWT etc)
