ABSTRACT
Sexual behaviour that occurs between adults in the school has been discussed in the previous chapter. Here the focus is about sexual behaviour between teachers and pupils including flirting as well as more serious offences. Incidents may not be an everyday occurrence in most schools but they do occur:
In one Midlands secondary over a 10-year period there were three cases of staff having unsuitable relationships with pupils. One woman was dismissed after a police prosecution. A music
teacher resigned after a relationship with a 15-year-old pupil came to light and a science teacher was given an informal warning after he was accused of inappropriate behaviour.
