Teachers concern threat of ‘elevated violence’ as Safer School Officers in London are being redeployed

London faculties are liable to “increased violence” and “gang exploitation” following the removing of specialist law enforcement officials, headteachers have advised Sky News.

Education leaders are urging the Metropolitan Police to rethink a call to switch 371 Safer Schools Officers (SSOs) into neighbourhood policing groups.

Teachers warn pupils might be at “greater risk” of violence because of this, and a few college students advised us they had been fearful extra knives and medicines can be introduced into faculties.
