False Allegations Against Teachers: Introduction

Introduction

My wish is to provide help to those falsely accused of child assault. Over the coming weeks, months and maybe years, I will provide a diarized account of my story that ultimately led not only to my dismissal but the utter destruction of my career and my life.

No one should have to endure my experience and I will continue to fight for a review of existing legislation.

I started a diary on Friday, 01 February 2008. Now, a year on, I will share with you my experiences, thoughts, ideas, opinions and advice from my diary and extracts from transcripts, video / audio recordings and other documents :

Allegations Against School Staff

HoC Children, Schools and Families Committee
Committee Room 15
Meeting 17 June 2009 9.30 - 11.47am

Transcript

Courtesy House of Commons

This meeting of the Commons Select Committee on Children, Schools and Families was held as a direct consequence of my discussions with the BBC in January 2009.

Subsequently, on the 16 July 2009, my story featured in TimesOnline coincident with the publication of the government report Allegations Against School Staff HC695 and Government Response - Appendix 1. The report includes my submitted evidence and my book.

I, a reception teacher, an individual, did this through my continuing fight for justice that can have no end.

Polygraph Examination

I am the first teacher in the United Kingdom to have undergone a polygraph examination in an attempt to prove their innocence. The examination was undertaken by one of the most authoritative experts in this field - Don Cargill of NADAC.

This evidence was ignored by Lancashire County Council even though such examinations are valid, reliable and are used by government in the Offender Management Act 2007.

You will soon realize that truth has no importance nor value. You are guilty from the start and you will experience a nightmare without end.

I make the offer to undergo another examination to prove, once again, my innocence with the condition that the head teacher, HR manager and key witness also take the test and that the results be made public.

Personal Belief

“To laugh often and love much; to win the respect of intelligent persons and the affection of children; to earn the approbation of honest citizens and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to give of one’s self; to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to have played and laughed with enthusiasm and sung with exultation; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived - this is to have succeeded.”

Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882)

“Nothing strengthens authority as much as silence.”		Leonardo da Vinci
“All that is necessary for evil to succeed is that good men [or good women] do nothing.”		Winston Churchill
