The government says its funds are allocated based on condition surveys it has carried out.

Pupils with additional learning needs (ALN) also had significantly higher rates of exclusion."These exclusion rates are a considerable concern and give us some indication of the increasing number of pupils demonstrating extremely challenging and complex behaviour," the report, focused on promoting positive behaviour in secondary schools, said.

Inspectors said schools that were the best at promoting good behaviour had high expectations of pupils and staff, a strong focus on wellbeing and effective behaviour policies which were applied consistently.But they said it was difficult to fully understand the extent of the problem because there was no national system to collect data on incidences of poor behaviour.The report said most school leaders felt overall support from the Welsh government, local authorities and school improvement services were "inadequate".

They said there was a lack of alternative provision and Pupil Referral Units (PRUs) were often full.Reduced funding and staff cuts also hindered progress in addressing challenges, according to school leaders.

The 1,700 responses to a pupil survey suggested students had a more positive view than teachers of behaviour in lessons, but many said behaviour improved when teachers respected them and treated them fairly.

Some headteachers who completed the survey called for "a national strategy involving mobile phone bans, increased funding for specialist provision and clearer accountability for parents"."We do care work because we actually do care, you have to have a lot of care courage and you have to be committed to it.

"Dementia patients can be a challenge but if a resident wants something, we try and give it to them," said Ms Rieta.Nadra Ahmed, the chair of the National Care Association, said: "The reality is that we can't recruit local people to undertake this critical role, so we have had to choose the more costly route of using the foreign visa scheme, which was put in place to tackle the workforce crisis we faced in the sector post Brexit and Covid.

"Without [the visa scheme] we will have to limit what we can deliver, and in some cases that will mean the services are not viable."They will have no options but to close and this will impact of those we support."
