The local authority says: “The refusal to teach by some members can only be seen as victimisation of young people with significant needs'
has hit out at a union for claiming that safety measures have not been put in place at a school with an additional support needs base.
The union has issued instructions to members to refuse to teach pupils who are known by the school to be threatening and abusive.However, Glasgow City Council has informed teachers they will be sent home without pay if they refuse to teach pupils. They had agreed with the council and the school on some initial measures to ensure the safety of all teaching staff and to ensure that the needs of the pupils are met appropriately.
“The safety of our staff is taken very seriously, and additional measures have been in place at the school to meet the needs of the teachers and support staff in the additional support learning base. “Our legal view was made clear to the NASUWT that refusal to teach an individual young person would be considered a breach of contract and have consistently engaged with the union and will continue to do so.”
