The myth that England's teachers are not allowed to touch pupils when they need to restrain or comfort them is to be tackled, the education secretary has said.
Michael Gove said the clarification was part of a "new deal" for teachers.
They would also be given some anonymity when facing allegations from pupils.

But Children's Rights Alliance spokeswoman Carolyne Willow warned: "Giving even more powers to school staff to restrain children is a dangerous move that could contaminate schools and risks breaching human rights and child protection laws."

It's this damned grey area that has left staff unable to exert physical discipline in the classroom that has led to there being LESS security for pupils.
Stupid woman..
