Schools in England can address verbally abusive parents by using the Protection from Harassment Act 1997 for restraining orders, the Education Act 1996 to enforce behavior policies, and the Anti-social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act 2014 for injunctions against anti-social behavior. Schools can issue formal warnings, trespass notices, or seek civil protection orders to ensure the safety of staff and students. Legal advice may be necessary to navigate these options effectively.
