For this experience to have stopped me enjoying my job?

I don’t know if anyone else has ever had false allegations made against them and had them taken seriously (obviously allegations should be taken seriously, but I do think some common sense should be exercised.)

Mine is long ago enough now that I am ok with talking about it. Seven years ago I was referred to the national college, which is now the teaching regulation agency, because of allegations made when I was teaching.

The NCTL dismissed the allegations but the timeframe was long, from the initial accusation in January to the letter confirming no further action which came end of November, so 10/11 months. It took an enormous toll on me.

reflecting as it’s only in the last twelve months I’ve started to relax and enjoy my job again.

Hi - I had a similar situation but I work in healthcare and it has certainly affected the way I feel about my job, management and the way they managed the situation and my considerations when dealing with patients and relatives going forward. This happened 7 years ago and there was no wrong doing on my part, a patient’s family member with known mental health issues made a complaint and the cautious way management dealt with it all made me feel invalidated and unsupported. I still work there, I live my job and colleagues but it’s not the same.
