Aware of Head Teacher and Teacher affair

[GlitterGold7]

Name changed for this. I’ve become aware that the HT of my DC’s primary school is having an affair with one of the teachers. Both are married.

Would you do anything with this information? It feels utterly morally bankrupt that the HT is abusing his position like this, and I feel so sorry for the partners involved.

I didn’t say juniors. I said leadership team and governors.

Nope absolutely it is not. It is how they are treated and how you are treating them because that is also the public perception based on playground gossip and the daily fail.

I don't have an issue with disclosures. Not sure why you think I do? It isn't a disclosure I have an issue with.

Who are the head's juniors. The deputy head, assistant head, key stage leads etc are all juniors to the head.

You finally agreed that yes governors need informing! Which is what others said all along.

I never disputed that.

There is clearly a breach.
Why is skirt length more concerning to you than the boss chasing juniors to get his end away?

I haven’t said anything beyond it having to be disclosed and that is goes against the government’s teachers standards policy. So those are the elements I’m discussing.

Sexualising children is a big concern as is blaming children for being sexually assaulted and groomed.

I think sexual assault and grooming is a bigger issue than two adults engaging in consensual sex. I'd be more concerned that you think sexualising children isn't a concern.

Quite the stalker eh?

You were saying that they are likely to cause issues and that they are breaching conduct in the way they are acting which they are not.

Nothing about two people having an affair says they are going to be twats within the workplace about it.

It doesn’t only involve the head though. It involves a teacher, so that’s the disclosure to the leadership team.

And the leadership team are not that teacher's line manager so nope it doesn't. The teacher's employer is the governing body.

Yes because those reasons are why relationships disclosure policies exist.

I think this splitting hairs is irrelevant. It needs disclosing so the mitigations connected to that policy can be put in place. End of.

You also aren’t aware of the exact disclosure policy within schools. No one has dictated it’s a line manager.

It is because teachers are not trusted as you have said they cannot be and are likely twats as teachers are.

Nope it isn't.

Shame that all relationships issues are shared in the school in the same way, then less teachers would leave.

I'm not but you said they all go by the same one apparently it is on Gov.uk. You said they had to be because the teacher was a junior so no they do not need to be aware.

Be funny when you realise some schools do not have SLT! Then what?

No, it’s because it could give rise to a conflict of interest, safeguarding concerns or allegations of favoritism. So those elements need mitigating.

It's hardly stalking when I recognise your name from a previous thread?
I think sometimes teachers priorities are very skewed as demonstrated on this thread.

Sexual assault and grooming is a big issue yes but teachers getting fussy over trousers and skirts is neither.

Get fussy about married Head teachers chasing junior married staff!

And they most likely won't but they can't be trusted.

Allegations of favouritism and the rest happen anyway! Because teachers can't be trusted!

Yes it's not rocket science is it.

The government is the employer, so that standards code is key to the profession.

Most school’s require relationships to be disclosed to headteacher, governing body and the HR department.

The rest is irrelevant because the subject of this thread is whether OP has rights to report the potential situation.

Wouldn't give it a second thought as it's non of my bloody business!

OK. This is clearly roaming into a lot of personal feelings on the teaching profession for you. I’m not saying those don’t deserve a place at the table of another discussion, but they aren’t relevant to this one.

Ahh now I remember you. You falsely accused me and lied about me. Not morally decent yourself now are you?

I never mentioned teachers getting fussy over trousers and skirts. You said a uniform breach which is shirt not tucked in etc. Basic shit.

Teachers should prioritise getting involved with the head and their shag piece?

Nope it is a reflection of what you said further up thread. I am using your words and what you implied in my comments back.

It was you who said that they couldn't be trusted and it would harm colleagues.

Yes and you'd think the HT would be very aware of this most basic stuff.
