Report recommends police be told every time pupil found to be possessing a weaponpublished at 10:30 British Summer Time 11 October 2016
The report's author, Andrew Lowe, said every incident or allegation of weapons possession should also be recorded by the school and school managers notified.
Other recommendations include:
- Aberdeen City Council work should work with Police Scotland to establish a clear and effective policy on management of offensive weapons in school with partners.
- Individual risk assessments should be completed on all individuals known or suspected to carry offensive weapons.
Stabbing took place in less than five minutes of boys meetingpublished at 10:25 British Summer Time 11 October 2016
Andrew Lowe tells press conference that the course of conflict was "fatally altered" by possession of bladed weapon by killer.
It was "potentially predictable" and "avoidable" if those who knew boy brought weapons to school had informed teachers.
Two key findings of pupil stabbing reviewpublished at 10:22 British Summer Time 11 October 2016
A review into the circumstances of the 16-year-old's death found:
1. This was an unplanned, spontaneous conflict that emerged rapidly out of an unexceptional banter. It is not considered that it could have been predicted or averted on the day.
2. The course of the conflict was fatally altered by the possession of a bladed weapon by one of the boys. This was potentially predictable and avoidable if those who knew Child A carried weapons in school had reported this to staff.
