Rank: Guest		Posted By Jim O'Dwyer 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: http://www.dfes.gov.uk/p...thelaw/10_98/summary.htm Best wishes Jim O'Dwyer

Rank: Guest		Posted By Ken Taylor 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.

Rank: Guest		Posted By Ken Taylor 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).
