As I outlined in my previous answer, we are currently implementing our relationships and behaviour national action plan in conjunction with the Convention of Scottish Local Authorities. The plan contains a number of different actions around reducing violence and harm in schools.

In addition, since the publication of the violence prevention framework in 2023, we have provided more than £6 million to organisations, including the Scottish Violence Reduction Unit and YouthLink Scotland for its No Knives, Better Lives programme, to deliver a range of prevention and early intervention activity, which includes specific work in our schools.

In the coming weeks, we will publish new guidance for schools on consequences and on risk assessments for violent, aggressive or dangerous behaviour.
