Marissa
Edwards is a PhD candidate at the UQ
Business School at The University of
Queensland, Australia, and has a
particular interest in
workplace
bullying. She is
currently running an
anonymous
online survey as part of
her PhD research and would like to
invite all readers to participate.
She is studying
how
employees respond emotionally and
behaviourally when they become aware
of apparent wrongdoing in
organisational settings (e.g., as
targets of wrongdoing, observers,
etc). She is interested in the
experiences of participants who
reported the wrongdoing, as well as
those who remained silent, or who
may have confronted the perpetrator,
etc. The responses are
completely anonymous and
confidential. The deadline for
responses was 31 July 2009.

Violence Against Teachers and School Staff
"...To date, NIOSH intramural and extramural
workplace violence research has focused on the
highest risk occupations, including health care
workers, taxi cab drivers, and retail sales.
Because of an increase in the prevalence of
school-based policies aimed at reducing violence

teachers and other school staff may face daily
threats of workplace violence, NIOSH was
prompted to examine risk factors and prevention
polices and practices for workplace violence for
K-12 school staff..." (US) |

Teachers will have power to search all pupils for knives:
By Rosemary Bennett, Deputy Political Editor: The Times July 03,
2006: TEACHERS will be authorised to search every pupil in their
school if they suspect that there is a knife on the premises, The
Times has learnt. Britain’s growing knife culture has prompted
ministers to draw up plans for draconian new powers to try to
prevent more schoolgate stabbings. It comes as Home Office figures
show that the number of children aged 12 to 14 convicted of carrying
knives at school doubled between 2000 and 2004 to 170...... |
