“NEED WEAPONS SEARCHES”
Teachers are calling for random security checks at school entrances to assess the scale of weapon-carrying among pupils. They want a national system of recording violent incidents in schools, many of which, they say, are not being reported. One of the main problems may be that children are not carrying weapons with a view to attacking teachers, but to protect themselves from bullies. But delegates at the NASUWT teachers' conference, in Llandudno, also spoke of violent children using knives, iron bars and ball-bearing guns in schools.
The union's deputy general secretary, Chris Keates, said the health and safety reports that schools are supposed to file could underpin a national database of violent incidents. "We have asked for a sample run of airport-style security checks in schools to identify the level of offensive weapon carrying," she added.
Ms. Keates acknowledged that - as with random drug tests - parental consent could be an issue. "We believe the vast majority of parents support this because they see it as a safety issue. It's as much in the interests of parents for the safety of their children."
The conference debate on the issue focused on violence against teachers. Joy Windsor, from Hampshire, said union surveys had suggested a teacher somewhere was being abused one way or another every seven minutes. But there was no nationally agreed system of recording incidents. It was important that whatever was introduced did not imply the teacher who was a victim of an assault was unable to cope with the job.
A member of the union's executive, Brian Garvey, recalled how one of its members was shot in the back in a school corridor. 'The head's response? 'Well, it was only a ball-bearing gun - we have excluded the boy for three days. That boy should have been on a charge, never mind three days' exclusion," he said.
