How would you deal with the these unforeseen challenges?
A teacher submits a grievance to your ED and the AEU. They assert that you are bullying them and start bad mouthing you to parents and colleagues. A directions meeting is called. Who represents you when the AEU is representing staff?
You are told to leave your site immediately and suspended pending an investigation. You receive little information outlining the allegation and no relevant assistance from DECD. How do you afford the cost of legal representation and how do you protect your career?
A parent defames you on Facebook, tells other parents that you are a criminal and creates a Facebook hate page dedicated to you. How do you stop the defamation, how do you seek damages to your reputation?
