Swift action needs to be taken to protect the safety of children and education staff in Dumfries and Galloway schools, a councillor insisted this week.
North West Dumfries representative Paula Stevenson shared her concerns about their physical and mental health at Tuesday’s full council meeting.
She pointed out that there were 662 violent incidents in the region’s primary schools last year – a massive increase on pre-pandemic figures – and 80 in secondary
schools.
