Book Publisher



False Allegations Against Teachers



I am seeking a publisher for my book and I would be grateful to hear from anyone who might be able to help.


BACKGROUND
The concept for the book originated from my own personal experience of being the subject of an allegation of assault. My desire is to help and support others like myself and to alert others to the ever present risks of working with children.

I have tried to produce a practical guide about this life changing and career threatening subject.

READERSHIP
The principle audience for the book is teachers. The advice and comment within the book is applicable to everyone who has contact with children under 16 years.

The purpose of the book is twofold. Prior to my allegation, I had not considered that anything like this could ever happen to me – it is something that happens to others. I was not prepared for the events that unfolded.

Everyone involved with children needs to know how to minimize the risk and to understand the cold and lonely processes involved.

COMPETING BOOKS
I spent months looking for advice – there are no books, on the subject, and very little constructive information on the Internet, even though the number of false allegations made each year continues to spiral.

Please contact me : Jane E. Watts
