Teacher Assaults Sample Clauses
The 'Teacher Assaults' clause defines the procedures and protections in place when a teacher is assaulted in the course of their employment. Typically, this clause outlines the reporting requirements, the support and leave entitlements available to the affected teacher, and any obligations on the employer to ensure the teacher's safety or to pursue disciplinary or legal action against the perpetrator. Its core function is to provide a clear framework for responding to incidents of assault, ensuring that teachers receive appropriate support and that such incidents are addressed promptly and effectively.
