I see another question was asked about the ending of school CP in Scotland. In primary schools it was phased out from the mid 1970’s and in secondary’s from around 1982. Different local authority areas set different dates, Glasgow was the first and Edinburgh one of the last. Some saw that abolition would be coming and thought that they should end CP ahead of the required date which was August 1987 in local authority schools. In other areas there was a desire to retain the sanction for as long as possible as teachers feared a complete breakdown of discipline it the belt was withdrawn.
