as i think neglect that contributed to a pupils death can not be seen by the average person on the clapham omnibus ( some will get that bit  ) as any thing other than that
but as usual just like those governors who were willing to curtail normal play yard games because of a few complaints they seem to think more about thier risks than that of those they volunteered to look out for they seem to like the titles but not the load that goes with it |
Thanks for that roger ,
It would appear then that the governors of the school have deliberately allowed a staff member who is guilty of neglect at best and contributing to the death of a minor at worst(if that is a real legal term) to resign instead of being sacked
I have no doubt that there was absolutely no malice or intent intended by the teacher but in cases were death is caused by neglect then criminal charges should have been brought ,after all it was only a case rearanging priorities as far as the teacher was concerened and nothing was more important than the safety and welbeing of the children in the schools care .A totally avoidable death
