We need an ethos change in schools, not just police
Jul 31st, 2008 by Chris
The recent proposal from the government that all schools should have their own dedicated police officer is unfortunately necessary - and while it will have the benefit of improving the relationship between young people and the police, it is fundamentally an admission of failure by the government to tackle both anti-social behaviour and carrying weapons in schools but more fundamentally to change the ethos of schools and local communities into one which is united rather than divided. This is a long-term project, but it’s one which the government appears to be making few moves on.
