Allegations
of Sexual Abuse |
|
A Horowhenua school
teacher has been reinstated in his job following his clearance on sexual
abuse charges. A jury found Michael
Neville not guilty of indecently assaulting four pupils early in December. The primary teachers
union is pleased Mr Neville will be returning to the school where he has
taught since 1995. NZEI national president
Colin Tarr says the school's community is fortunate to have such a dedicated
and hard-working teacher. He says the union hopes
Michael Neville's return to the classroom is smooth and he can put the events
of the last 19 months behind him. Mr Tarr says the case
has raised a number of issues for the teaching profession, and as a result,
the NZEI will be looking at the advice it gives its members. |
