Aggression and violence in North Ayrshire classrooms is rocketing and there is a fear of reporting incidents, according to a senior Tory.
North Ayrshire opposition leader Tom Marshall made the claim with depute leader Shaun Macaulay revealing that steps were being taken to ensure incidents are dealt with.
Councillor Marshall said at the recent full council meeting: “According to the Corporate Health and Safety Group meeting dated May 25, appendix one records Aggression and Violence incidents in North Ayrshire Secondary Schools in Quarter Three as 52 compared to 31 last year - a rise of almost 70 per cent in a comparable quarter.
