School safety priority for council
North Ayrshire Council says maintaining safe and orderly schools remains a top priority following concerns raised about aggression and violence in classrooms. Speaking at the council's final meeting before the summer recess, Councillor Margaret Johnson said unacceptable behaviour can include verbal abuse, physical assault, intimidation and damage to property. She said every incident is treated seriously, with responses based on the individual circumstances to protect staff, support young people and maintain safe learning environments.
