We need #calums law. Teachers require statutory training to come in line with other professions like nursing. Restraint and seclusion are damaging practices illegal in other settings like nursing homes for very good reasons. Children need same protections in law. @bethmorrison.bsky.social
It is a patchwork picture across Scotland in relation to debriefs post incident.
NASUWT supports the need for a national system to report and record every significant incident of use of force. Recording data can then be used to monitor and identify patterns.

Important piece in yesterday's Sunday Post showing why legislation on restraint is so crucial.
We've been calling for statutory provision for 5+ years now. Good to see the govt (finally) offering its support.
Huge credit to the parent campaigners who've driven this. @bethmorrison.bsky.social

UK Commissioners call for equal protection for all UK children. Scotland was first to ban physical punishment; as did Wales. Children in England & N Ireland are still not protected. All children deserve the same protection from violence as adults.
