Post 1983 – the date of the state school ban – things changed in this regard. It became pretty well accepted at that point that a whole school ban could be enforced, but even today there’s only limited power to prevent a teacher in a private school using corporal punishment against school policy – it’s almost certainly a violation of their terms of employment, but unless such violations become a pattern (to the extent you can dismiss the person – not easy when they are acting within the law) there’s not a lot that could be done about it even now. I don’t think it’s likely to be an issue in any school today (except perhaps as a one off approach to address a heat-of-the-moment, never to be repeated, mistake) but prior to the 1980s, it did happen in some schools.
