I think that while people are not assaulted at work, they are subjected to verbal abuse and things like "If you don't like it, there are 2 million people out there who can do your job"
This level of bullying and harassment is higher than physical violence.

There we again "reported incidents" like RIDDOR, crime stats and now MP's actually admitting that school chiefs have no idea of the true levels of 'class indiscipline', nice euphamism, and that "violent incidents are not properly recorded" leaving the Commons Select Committee calling for the data to be collected and published annually - my left foot.

One little ray of sunshine is that the committee chairman Graham Stuart is reported in the Sun (3rd Feb) to acknowledge that an increasingly academic shake up of the curriculum, "if not stimulating", will switch-off even more Kids increasing the chances of disruption..........

Wonder what that means if they are already estimating an assault every 7 minutes in English schools ?

At least at the S.M.A.R.T. Foundation 'community workshops' for excluded young offenders and kids from local PRU's we were lucky to get one Kickin-Off once a week so makes you puzzle what they do to tick them off so much but there again our students were provided with 'access to text' so at least they could participate in the learning process unlike so many of their peers who somehow remain in school?
