Yesterday we held a rally 2 #StopTheViolence

Thanks 2 all who turned up. 100 voices shining a spotlight on escalating violence & abusive behaviour in Aberdeen City Schools. The rally was a call for immediate action & demonstration of solidarity from the @EISUnion & sister TUs.

We don’t believe we’re being ‘alarmist’ or sharing ‘inaccurate information’. We are sharing the reality of these cuts but now that people are taking notice, the council are back peddling. @EISUnion @GMBGlasgowCC @AHDScotland can’t all be wrong?⬇️

Andrea Bradley appeared on Politics Scotland today to discuss violent and aggressive behaviour in schools ahead of the EIS rally against pupil's dysregulated behaviour in Aberdeen.
