Violent injuries against school staff most common in Scotland

Scotland has Britain’s highest rate of violent injuries to school staff reported to the safety watchdog, FactCheck can reveal.

They include fractures, dislocations and even loss of consciousness, with the number of incidents logged at Scottish schools trebling in a decade.

Teachers, many speaking for the first time, told Channel 4 News’ FactCheck team how assaults had left them with bleeding legs or broken toes.
