Online stress and violence survey

The NEU provides online stress and violence surveys to help local officers and reps gather evidence on stress and violence levels in schools. These surveys are designed to identify the causes and impacts of such issues. The collected data can be used as evidence for school management when considering industrial action.

If you would like to share a survey with members of your school, please complete the request form, specifying whether you need a stress survey or a violence survey.

Violence and managing student behaviour

It is clearly of paramount importance that students exhibiting violent behaviour are treated fairly and equally under the school or college behaviour policy.
