Abstract
The number of school-based police officers (SBPOs) across Greater Manchester is
significantly increasing with at least 20 more officers being introduced for the
2020/2021 academic year. This is happening without due consultation with
parents, teachers, young people, or wider communities. In response, this report
explores the views and experiences of people who live and work in Greater
Manchester in relation to police in schools. Drawing upon the survey responses of
554 people – including young people, teachers, parents, and community members –
this report is by far the most comprehensive of its kind in the UK.
