Teachers paid out over £16m in compensationTeachers have been paid compensation of more than £16m in the past year for successful claims, including unfair dismissal, personal injuries and criminal assault. NASUWT union general secretary Chris Keates said many of the injuries would be reduced if more employers “took the welfare of staff seriously” and followed good health and safety practices. She said: “Unfortunately, there is no incentive for employers to take health and welfare seriously when they witness the Government cutting funding for inspection and failing to take steps to secure compliance with the law. Failure to respect the rights of employees and to comply with employment law is also prevalent.”
