A woman who was convicted over a drunken assault has been banned from teaching for two years.
Kathryn Barton, 27 and from Durham, had been a teacher at St James Church of England Infant School in Whitehaven, but resigned in October 2017 after committing battery.

Cumbrian justice minister gives £10m to most challenging prisons
More on the news that Cumbrian MP and prisons minister Rory Stewart has revealed plans for £10 million pounds to be spent across 10 prisons to tackle drugs and violence.
More sniffer dogs will also be used, including some which have been tried to detect the psychoactive substance Spice.
Quote Message: Grabbing hold of those drugs; stopping them getting in, in the first place, is absolutely vital if we're to turn around violence in prisons. And unless we turn around violence in prisons, you can't get prisons into education; if you can't get them into education work, you can't turn their lives around; if you can't turn their lives around, you can't protect the public." from Rory Stewart Prisons minister and MP for Penrith and the Border

Jail for Carlisle woman who had disguised stun gun
A grandmother has been given a 27-month jail term after police found a working stun gun disguised as a torch while searching her home for drugs.
Carlisle Crown Court had heard how police officers found the illegal item inside Kelly Dargue's Carlisle home along with cannabis and amphetamine.
Dargue, 48, claimed not to own the non-lethal stun gun, but admitted that she knew it was illegal.
She added that she had given herself a shock during the short time it had been inside her home after someone else left it there.
Dargue, from Dixon Court, Shaddongate, Carlisle, admitted possession of a disguised firearm, an offence with a minimum sentence of five years.
However, Judge Barbara Forrester concluded that there were exceptional circumstances to reduce the length of her sentence.

Quote Message: For the past three years at least, violence in prisons has been at an all time high. The past two years there's been under-reporting at 15 per cent and ten per cent respectively. So it's a very bold statement and I'm sure that my Union will be reminding Rory of his statement in 12 months time if violence hasn't come down."
