As usual with statements from this organisation Stan, more questions are raised than answers given.
Mrs Alderson did nothing wrong so is Mrs Coupe going to face an inquiry into her actions in wrongfully suspending a teacher?
Why was she suspended?
The teacher in the Plymouth bullying case which was in the news last week received a substantial payout. What was the cost to the authority or school of this settlement ?
What was the REAL reason for the delay in settling ? - we all agree that the authority's legal people, ACAS and a national trades union should not, as professional people be influenced by outside agencies.
Why did the authority deem it necessary to put out false statements in the press ?

I too am pleased that a councillor has started to ask questions.

Has anyone else noticed Mrs Coupe's carefully maintained silence over the last 18 months? She has set events in motion but never ever speaks out to explain her actions, answer questions or make statements.
Instead other people have done it for her. Gullible members of staff, naive governors, authority officials fearful for their own jobs have all been used in this strategy.
And she has wanted everyone to believe she has been a victim!

Liz,you are spot on,a statement or explanation from Mrs Coupe seems as likely as an England penalty shoot out victory,the failure of both leaves a bad taste in your mouth.Mrs Coupe was asked for a meeting last September,like you say SILENCE.
David Lund was making the statements for the LEA and Marton at that time,remember how he told us that the staff were 100% behind the headteacher,this was also stated at a council meeting and has been minuted,then SILENCE.
So along came Mr Turner, sending letters out of school so quick,you would think he owned a paper mill . Much of the information he put out was not accurate, and when he was corrected,you guessed it SILENCE.
Mrs Peacock made her views known and credit to her for sharing them with us,she supported the head,took issue with numerous people on this board then,wait for it, SILENCE. I think its fair to say that there is a pattern developing here !!!!!!
For the Action Group to be blamed for holding up internal proceeding's is beyond belief, surely no-one out there is that stupid to believe a group of parents have thwarted professional lawyers/councillors/ACAS and Trade Unions, then again because we are not stupid mean that the powers that be will not fob us off either, regardless of how long it takes !!
