Hi Lesley,

You may like to start by checking out Section 550A of the Education Act 1996: The Use of force to Control or Restrain Pupils - which came into effect on 1 September 1998.

(DfEE Circular 10/98)

Find it on this link:

Best wishes

Remember it's not just pupils. Some of the most serious incidents involve parents. Procedures are needed to manage 1 to 1 meetings. Schools tend to concentrate on keeping unwelcome guests out. It's the one they invite in that are often more the problem.

If you give me your mail address I can send you a copy of the guide we issued (which was based on guidance kindly provided by Essex County Council)

Presumably you have seen 'Violence in the Education Sector' (Education Service Advisory Committee)?

I have also used material from the Suzy Lamplugh Trust - including the Fast Guide to Personal Safety at Work.

Thanks everyone !!
Given that there doesnt seem to be many statistics around ( I can see that it doesnt look too good to highlight frequent incidents)does anyone have any ideas where I could possibly get an idea of some figures ???

ESAC refer to the Elton Committee report on school discipline and the Dunblane Enquiry and also list school activities associated with the risk of violence - so they ought to be able to refer you to their sources (presumably mainly HSE).
