The National Education Union that covers Stamford has seen a rise in abuse directed at school leaders
The majority of school leaders have reported being abused by parents in the past year
School leaders in Peterborough, Stamford and Rutland could be facing an increase abuse from parents.
According to a survey from a school leaders' union, more than two in five school leaders said they had banned parents from the school site in the past year as a result of abuse.
As well as this, 32% of leaders have reported parents to the police for this.
Violence or threats is definitely not the answer
Ken Rustidge, the branch secretary for the NEU in Lincolnshire, said:
"There's a lot of problems out there and no easy solutions for them, but it's incumbent for everybody out there to work together."
"There's no doubt about it; there's an issue of funding, but people are trying their hardest."
"A few years ago my boss was threatened, and that shouldn't happen."
"There can be a reluctance to be a school leader."
"Violence or threats is definitely not the answer."
"If you're not happy with something, go through the governing body or try to speak with a head teacher."
There can be a reluctance to be a school leader
The survey, of more than 1,600 NAHT members in England, Wales, and Northern Ireland, found 82% of school leaders said they had personally experienced abuse from parents within the past year.
Verbal abuse was the most common experience of abuse reported by school leaders in the past year, with 85% of leaders experiencing this, followed by threatening behaviour with 68%, online abuse with 46%, and discriminatory language with 22%.
One in 10 school leaders said they had suffered physical violence in the last 12 months while 4% said they had experienced spitting, the survey found.
Some leaders said the abuse had made them consider quitting the profession, while others were left suffering anxiety, depression and panic attacks.
The NAHT is calling for the Government to send a clear signal to parents that abuse is unacceptable in schools.
Nobody should face violence or abuse in the workplace
A Department for Education (DfE) spokesperson said:
'Nobody should face violence or abuse in the workplace, including our incredible school staff who are vital to improving life chances for all children.'
'As part of our Plan for Change, we are committed to turning the tide on poor behaviour, breaking down barriers to opportunity and ensuring every child can achieve and thrive.'
'Our new regional improvement teams will work with schools to spread the highest standards of behaviour across our classrooms, and we are committed to providing access to a specialist mental health professional in every school.'
'But we know there is more to do and are looking closely at how we can go further to support teachers and drive high and rising school standards for all our children.'
