The teachers’ union Gibraltar NASUWT says it notes the measures taken by the Government following the security incident that occurred last Wednesday 26th March.

A statement continued: “On Friday 28th March the Minister for Education provided Gibraltar NASUWT with an Emergency Response Plan for Westside School, which was subsequently added to the school’s staff handbook by senior management the same day. It is concerning that no such plan was in place prior to the incident, an issue the Union intends to investigate further.

“Gibraltar NASUWT formally requested a meeting with the Minister for Education and the Director on Thursday, 27th March, and we are still awaiting confirmation of a meeting date.

“The union expects meaningful engagement with the Minister of Education to address ongoing concerns related to the health, safety, and well-being of our members and students.”
