How do we stop the rising problem of abuse and assault of school staff?: The Twilight Show with Tom Rogers

In this urgent show, we confront the rising tide of violence and aggression facing teachers and school staff across the UK. Host Tom Rogers is joined by veteran educator and behaviour specialist Andrew Old, and leadership and inclusion expert Chuma A., for a frank discussion about why violence in schools is escalating — and what must be done to stop it. We also hear a powerful call-in from April Steffeck, who shares her frontline experience of the emotional toll that classroom aggression can take. From policy reform and mental health support to cultural change and school leadership, our guests explore practical, systemic, and sometimes controversial solutions to ensure that educators can do their jobs in safety and with dignity.
