Useful information, advice and discussion especially for governors. A panel of school governors discuss their responsibilities in relation to events in a hypothetical school. After watching a series of reconstructions they debate where the duties of the school governors lie. School governor expert, Paul McGann, monitors the panel's discussion providing advice and guidance on dealing with the issues raised. This week, the team debate the procedures involved after a teaching assistant is accused of an inappropriate advance towards a pupil. The panel question where they can go for advice on child protection and their role in setting policy. They also discuss how to handle the consequences of such an event in school and how they can protect both staff and pupils in such circumstances. The programme will be of value to school governors keen on understanding more about their role and how to ensure they act in the best interests of their school.
