We had a discussion about this in class today, and I was told a few things, Im afraid I don't have any proof to back anything up, but the people who told me have no reason to lie etc.

Apparently there was a fight between pupils, and a teacher broke it up, and in the process ended up hurting one of the pupils (not purposely) The child prosecuted, and the teacher was given 18months.

recently a girls face was slashed from her eyebrow to cheek, and there was nothing the teacher could do, as they knew intervention could get them into trouble.

Nothing like that happens at my school, but some teachers have taught elsewhere, and have said that at some schools, when teachers see a fight they just walk away, as they don't want to get into trouble by stopping it, but cannot stand by being seen to do nothing.

I'm all for teachers being allowed to restrain.
