MPs “shocked” over teachers’ false allegations
Obviously, because I am continually teased by fate, something urgent crops up exactly one second after I write saying I’m on holiday. So here it is…
A committee of MPs reports today that it is “shocked” at the treatment of teachers subject to false allegations of abuse. I have been campaigning for a while for better treatment for teachers and others falsely accused of harming children. At the moment these allegations can continue to affect employment and family life through Criminal Records Bureau (CRB) checks even after they’ve been dropped or dis-proved. Now the Children’s, Schools and Families Committee in the House of Commons has also joined calls for a fairer balancing of the need to protect children with the need to allow innocent people to remain so until proven guilty.

Anyway, back to holiday mode…
