GMB is committed to raising awareness of this issue. It is unacceptable for school staff to be kicked, punched, spat on or to have school equipment and even furniture thrown at them. We have recently launched a national campaign to highlight the problem. GMB will be challenging schools, academies and local authorities to ensure adequate safeguards are in place to protect our members from attacks. Enough is enough. Schools must send out a loud and clear message that there will be zero tolerance of violence against any staff in schools, whatever their role. Members tell us day in, day out about violence against school support staff, which is never acceptable or 'part of the job'. Members go to work because they love working with children."

Every attack is a crime against the person and the sector needs to send a clear message that this will not be tolerated.
