by Maureen Cooper (Author), Bev Curtis (Author)

Synopsis

The fourth handbook in the Education Personnel Management series gives valuable advice to headteachers, other senior managers and members of the governing body's personnel committee on how to deal with the difficult issues arising from accusations made against school employees. It describes how to reduce the risks for staff as well as the measures that schools can take to ensure that they provide a safe environment for the children in their care. Through real-life case studies, a clear outline of the legal background and a model code of conduct for staff, the book shows what schools can do to protect pupils whilst also safeguarding employees from the potentially devastating consequences of false allegations.
