Description
A new study into the health and safety of Australia's school principals has found that they are seven times more likely to experience violence on the job compared to the rest of the working population.
The Australian Principal Occupational Health, Safety, & Wellbeing Survey, has also found that principals lack proper support to deal with growing violence, increased workloads, and growing public accountability.
