Show Notes

Parents and teachers express frustration as incidents surge, with over a quarter of teachers in Aberdeen physically assaulted last year. The lack of national rules hinders decisive action, while social media restrictions for under-sixteens are proposed in the UK to curb distractions and online harms.
