flag New South Wales proposes banning parents who threaten or harass school staff, extending protections to school grounds, events, and online.

flag New South Wales is proposing laws to protect school principals by allowing them to ban parents who engage in threatening, abusive, or unreasonable behavior, including excessive communication or intimidation. flag Under the proposed school community safety orders, banned individuals would be barred from within 25 meters of schools, events, and extracurricular activities, with violations potentially leading to fines up to $5,500. flag The move responds to rising incidents of harassment, physical violence, and cyberbullying against school staff, with surveys showing 50% of principals experienced physical violence and nearly 90% reported abuse from parents. flag The legislation aims to extend protections beyond school grounds to include drop-off zones and online interactions, aligning with Victoria’s 2022 laws and supporting educator safety and retention.
