[QUOTE="Phoenix55, post: 1999569, member: 242273"] Is there no way that you can get an earlier emergency appointment with your GP? You may not like to think it is an emergency but for your mental health it is and also for your physical health if your bg is high. Did you join one of the various unions that have a section for school staff? If so then contact your local rep. and get their backing for changes to be made at your place of work and support in taking leave. Check the contract that you have signed for the length of time that is required for notice. It is not acceptable for any member of staff working in a school to be threatened in the way that you have been. If you do go back suggest that the school should purchase personal alarms for frontline personnel and buy one for yourself and use it every time that you are threatened. It will make people aware of how often this is happening. If it is happening to you in Admin how often do you think it is happening to the teaching and other ancillary staff? We are all well aware that we are dealing with a priceless part of people's lives but that priceless part needs to learn respect as well as confidence to stand up for themselves. If they do not see respect being exhibited by their parents how will they ever learn? Children learn by imitation. [/QUOTE]
