Hi Pete,

Thanks for your comment. I wasn't sure if you were reflecting on my advice or that of the NUT?

I'm not sure I fully understand your point about having a record making it less likely there would be litigation? If a child was to allege improper conduct on behalf of the teacher, wouldn't a transcript of a chat or an email be crucial in determining if the conduct was improper or otherwise?

Or do you mean there is less likely of litigation because there wouldn't be any evidence to support the case? Therefore any allegations is subject to the accounts of the individuals involved.

Sorry Pete, I would welcome further explanation here.
