School staff "bullied by managers"

School staff are facing rising levels of bullying by senior managers, according to a teachers' union.
The Association of Teachers and Lecturers - which also has teaching assistant members says bullying can be a serious problem for school employees as well as pupils.
ATL's annual conference voted for a resolution expressing alarm at the rise in bullying of staff, particularly from senior managers in schools.
The union will now carry out a survey of its members to ascertain the type and extent of bullying by other staff.
The conference also agreed that homework for primary school children was a waste of time for children and teachers, and called for all formal homework to be abolished.
