(a) 270 physical assaults and 58 verbal threats or comment
(b) 12 physical assaults and 24 verbal threats or comments. It is important to note that the Online Incident Notification System only allows the description 'Parent or family member', so these figures include actions by family members other than parents (for example, siblings).
(c) & (d) Accurate numbers cannot be provided because, while reporters can indicate by whom, and against whom, the assault or threat has been committed, they can only nominate 'staff' as being the victim of the assault or threat. The reporting system does not disaggregate this in to types of staff (e.g. principal, teacher, education assistant, cleaner or gardener).
