School says it followed procedure, but I simply can not understand why he wasn't excluded.

Can you imagine this in an adult place of work?

Imagine that you work in an office where a man is convicted of sexual assaults on a woman who also works there. The sexual assaults happened on the premises.

After the criminal conviction and with the man now on the sex offenders register and with a restraining order that prohibits him from coming into contact with the victim, the man gets to come back to work. Alongside the victim. The company take no disciplinary action against him.

Why are young girls deemed worthy of less protection than grown women?

Insane. Surely they should be setting up special schools with specially trained staff for child criminals

I think there should be more girls schools. But given boys do better in mixed schools and the heavy usage of girls to act as buffers between disruptive boys it wont happen.

Not unless you pass the 11 plus or pay for private school.

And yes I know girls can be just as mean and all that stuff however given it's well known that girls do better in single sex schools and boys do better in mixed well we all know what they picked to be the majority set up and why

This is the price girls pay

Absolutely appalling that poor girl. How is that even supposed to work with a restraining order? Just beggars belief, once again we are told how little girls matter in the eyes of the powers that be. I mean he was convicted ffs how much more evidence do they need?

"Where a criminal investigation into sexual assault leads to a conviction or caution, the school or college should, if it has not already, consider any suitable sanctions in light of their behaviour policy, including consideration of permanent exclusion.30

Where the perpetrator is going to remain at the school or college, the principle would be to continue keeping the victim and perpetrator in separate classes and continue to consider the most appropriate way to manage potential contact on school and college premises and transport. The nature of the conviction or caution and wishes of the victim will be especially important in determining how to proceed in such cases".

The Guidelines for dealing with it are very much "schools must decide what to do on a case by case basis".

The Guidelines provide no actual guidelines for assisting in this decision.

Which means that schools do fuck all.

Yep, I think Plum has got it in one!

I'm sickened by this. That poor girl!

Because boys are considered more important than girls?

Because I literally cannot think of any other reason.
