(cheek) thats all the news I have got apart from that I am going to the docs today to get signed off I am in a lot of pain and can't sleep.
Many thanks for the help

Please tell me you have been to a solicitor.
The school is repsonsible for you and has a responsibility to look after you. They have failed in that responsibility. They should have insurance to cover this type of thing, you won't be taking money from the kids.

Perhaps I should say you are a better man than me, although my view is meet fire with fire.
I couldn't stand back, let someone assault me and then smash my car without 'defending' myself. I know that someone who is mentally unstable can be a big handfull, so I could understand the cause for concern. I was once attacked by someone high on drugs, and I was so surprised how strong ther person was and how many times they kept getting back up off the floor.
If you are attacked in the workplace in the manner and circumstances that you were, there is no way that the employer or police could look unfavourably on you defending yourself.

Re: Attacked at work
If he doesn't get sacked then you should go to the education authority and make a complaint!

Hi Homer, you might be better finding a private solicitor. From what I've heard companies like Injury Lawyers 4 you will generally only take cases they can win. The 'cut' they will take may well be more than a private firm - indeed your settlement may be alot better with a well experienced private solicitors firm.
I must admit I have no personal experience, but I have drawn from experiences of colleagues and friends.

Re: Attacked at work
watch out for injury lawyers 4 u they claim u get all the damages but more often than not u dont. If you have a case (which you do and you do have one against the school as they owe you a duty of care in your employment environment and are in breach of the H&S Regs if they dont!) they will take it on and your fees will be paid when you win by the losing party. The school cannot win this one as you have evidence as whats been going on, proof of whats happened etc
Take them to the cleaners!
