More than one in three (35%) support staff experience verbal abuse every day in schools across Yorkshire and Humberside, a survey has found. The study, released by trade union Unison, questioned almost 800 school workers across the region between 10 and 25 October, including teaching assistants, caterers and cleaners.
Findings included 34% of school support staff experiencing pushing, mainly from pupils, on a daily basis, with 26% witnessing daily kicking and the throwing of objects and furniture.
