  What is really happening to our children’s mental health to have caused this

  A teacher from Cheshire England has been awarded a payout of £155,000 following an attack by a pupil, whom she asked to get back to work. The teacher suffered severe injuries during the incident, according to the NASUWT teaching union.

  The incident was publicized by the union on Friday, when it released a report on the compensation it had managed to secure for its members last year. The compensation figures amounted to over £11.7 million, claimed on grounds ranging from unfair dismissal and unlawful discrimination to bullying and harassment.

  One of the largest payouts was given to a primary teacher from Cheshire, who had been the target of a brutal attack. NASUWT did not elaborate when and where exactly the incident took place.

  The attack occurred after the teacher asked a misbehaving pupil to go back to his work. Instead of complying, he attacked her as she turned her back on him, according to the union.

  The teacher was left “with ligament damage to her wrist, hand and fingers,” and the union ultimately managed to secure a settlement of some £155,000 for her on the grounds of a “personal injury.” It remains unclear whether the pupil was punished for the attack.
