Listen on

Episode notes

This week, Brent Poland (@BrentPoland1) is joined by Paul Hazzard (@Arkle123) deputising as host for Adam Spence (@aspence81).

In part 1 they explore the implications of falling rolls and how schools and individuals will cope with the predicted decline in school age population and what that will mean for budgets, pupils-teacher ratios and the schools' estate.

In part 2 they discuss current findings of bullying being rife in schools and offer clear guidance on what staff in receipt of bullying should do.

If you've been affected by any of the issues raised in tonight's programme ensure that you seek support from reliable sources - many of which are referred to by Brent & Paul in the show.
