Request under the Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002
I refer to your correspondence dated 21 August 2019 requesting information in relation to injuries/violence in schools.
The Council is treating your request as a request under the Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002 and can respond as attached.
Please note that the totals relate to the number of incidents recorded, not distinct number of children or staff, i.e. 1 child or 1 staff member may account for multiple incidents.
"How many assaults have been recorded involving pupils / staff at both primary and secondary schools" - these questions have treated pupils / staff as the victims, rather than assailants.
I trust this information has been of assistance to you and I have attached a leaflet to confirm your rights.
Please do not hesitate to contact me if you require any further information.
Kind regards
Caroline
