Child abuse fears prompt unfair suspensions of teachers
Anxiety about child abuse in schools is leading to scores of teachers being suspended each year over allegations that turn out to be false, MPs were told today.
Schools, the police and local authorities regularly now trust pupils over teachers when allegations of abuse are made, MPs on the cross-party Children, Schools and Families select committee heard.
The committee is conducting an inquiry into the way allegations against teachers are dealt with.
