Whilst school staff do not enter the profession to be abused, at some point they may be involved in dealing with a physically aggressive or violent pupil or parent. The leadership of the school has a duty under Section 2 of the Health & Safety at Work Act (1974) so far as is reasonably practicable to ensure the health, safety and welfare of all their employees.
