So we have a teacher who is signed off sick for a week with a trapped nerve in their neck. Therefore the doctor is saying that she unfit to teach a lesson. We know that she was invited to an interview this week and have been asked to complete a reference for her.
We understand that she has attended the interview, which would have entailed a lesson observation a formal interview etc... so how does this differ from what she does on a daily basis at her normal workplace? I dont think it does and would like to know any ideas as to what we can do now? Id say that this is a breach of trust, but how far can we take this? Could this be gross misconduct, should we take her down the disciplinary route?
Any ideas/thoughts would be greatly appreciated
