Proceeding contribution from Lord Knight of Weymouth (Labour) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 28 June 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Education Bill.


Education Bill

Does not that particular scenario—which is obviously a real and concerning one for teachers in some schools—of a large physical presence with a knife underline the need for proper training? Without proper training, the danger into which the teacher might be putting himself or herself by using force, however reasonable, to try to confiscate the knife could be profound, however great the crisis may be there and then.
