The state government is considering a number of changes to try and reduce the antisocial
00:07
behaviour amongst school parents and caregivers.
00:10
Some of the considerations are increasing the maximum barring period for parents or
00:15
caregivers who are considered to be harassing or abusive.
00:20
That also includes for repeat offenders.
00:23
Currently the maximum barring period is three months.
00:27
They also want to reduce the scope of people to appeal barring notices except for in exceptional
00:35
circumstances.
00:37
Extending the range of behaviours where barring notices can be issued is also being considered.
00:44
That also does include online or social media abuse or harassment.
00:50
They also want to extend protections for school staff for when they're not on site.
00:58
That does include school camps and school excursions.
01:04
That antisocial behaviour has increased significantly over the last three years.
01:09
The number of warning notices issued over the last three years has increased by 130%.
01:15
There were 175 issued this year. That is compared with 55 in 2020.
01:24
And the number of barring notices issued over the last three years, that has increased even
01:30
more up to 100%.
01:32
