Attacked at work - Page 2

Stuart · 13-07-2006, 11:07

I can think of a couple of times where someone at work has been attacked by a fellow member of staff. Both times, the attacker in question was asked to leave and not come back. In one case, he wasn't sacked as such, as he was still in his (ironically named) probationary period, so he was told he wouldn't complete it. However, in that case, he did actually smash a glass and shove it in someone else's face, and the victim did bring charges..

Anyway, back to the original post. I would have thought the school concerned would not consider employing a potentially violent person, if only to protect the pupils?

A school should never employ someone so volatile, why haven't they sacked him already? Sounds a bit fishy to me... Also, why has it taken you so long to do something about it? 9 months???

The OP mentions about "back shift" I'm asuming thats afternoon till late evening - wonder what role they have

I'm guessing someone hasn't checked on the CBR provided on this person..Schools are still not doing enough about this I believe.

CRB you mean? I think most schools are very strict on it to be honest. Whenever I have applied for a position they have always been very firm on needing a CRB, the same applies when registering for an agency or local council.

I would press charges and sue for damages.

Doesn't mean they get to see it though...or to keep it on record.Apparently they are not 'required' to do so and a lot of schools don't bother.

Makes you think about the safety of your children at school though doesn't it.

Am pretty sure they are legally required to now.

Yes, they are mandatory now - linky, but I still can't believe that this has only been so since May this year!!!!

Was nothing learned for Hollie & Jessicas tragic case?

About time!

Didn't realise it only started in May. However, these people will commit acts whatever we do to try and stop them, sadly. A CRB check won't stop a child being molested in the street.

Maybe not but it should protect them in school.However I'm concerned that none of this persons difficulties were not known about by the school BEFORE they were employed.Makes a nonsense of having checks IF they knew and ignored it.

Hi ALL,

Thanks for all of your replies HERE IS THE UPDATE

I have been to hospital again for another xray and it has been comfirmed that I do have a cracked jaw and the police have taken a statement from me and other members of staff.
I have had a meeting with the head of the school and she said that the preson will be sacked and she is very sorry and she will pay for the damage to the car but it does depend on how much and is the car worth it ???????
(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

Homer
