Gillian Stephens was working as a safeguarding lead at Putteridge High School in Luton, Beds., when the violent assault happened. Luton Crown Court heard that at the time of the attack, Putteridge High School had no risk assessments to protect staff from violent pupils. The court heard that the student - who was later prosecuted for the assault at Luton Magistrates' Court - had developed behavioural problems in 2015. Putteridge High School has since joined the Chiltern Learning Trust in March 2017 and converted to an academy.
