Teachers in State schools will be given a set of guidelines on what to do in cases of security breaches that may include assaults by students or parents.

A working group will be set up between the Malta Union of Teachers and the Education Ministry to draw up these guidelines within the next weeks, union president Kevin Bonello told The Sunday Times.

The union and the Education Ministry had a meeting on the issue last week.

Last week the MUT said that over six working days there had been two reports of attacks in schools.

The union has launched a campaign called Together Against Abuse to show teachers who suffered abuse that they could find support through the union.
