Three teachers from Aberdeen schools say they fear for their safety as attacks on staff rise.
Teachers in Aberdeen have told BBC News they are traumatised, fear for their safety and are scared to go to to work because of escalating pupil violence.
"Even when I'm in my bed, I'll be thinking about what happened, or what might happen tomorrow," she said. A primary school teacher said she had to evacuate her classroom "several times in one week" because of pupils' behaviour."I've had books thrown at me off bookshelves, other items in the classroom."
More than a third said they had been physically assaulted by a pupil, and more than half felt their school did not have clear strategies in place to prevent violence. Mr Constable warned of "collective grievances" being presented if the problems were not taken seriously. "So any complaints that come through need to be addressed, in the interests, especially of the young people, but also of staff, families, anyone who is involved in the life of a school."
