Violence in Greater Manchester schools rises
More than 325 primary and secondary teachers have experienced violence in schools in Greater Manchester, which rose by 108% to 127 incidents a year, between 2015 and 2018.
The research was undertaken by social enterprise, Innovation Unit, on behalf of the Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA), Greater Manchester Police and 10 local authorities.

What's more, teachers are reluctant to report crimes with just 60 per cent of weapon possessions passed to police.
