Improve School Safety and Empower School Staff
Educators should feel empowered in decision-making when facing a fight. They must feel confident enough that they are making the right choices when breaking up fights, especially when required to use a physical intervention with a pupil. This is critical for school staff and students’ safety and well-being alike.
And yet, only 21% of educators reported being offered training from their schools for how to safely break up fights.
Having worked with educators for more than 40 years, we know that fights happen and staff need to intervene. But we wanted to put figures on this reality. In 2023, we asked 9,500 teachers and educators about behaviour management in their day-to-day job.
