Bethany Woodcock told the pupil 'you are safe with me'
A teacher who 'emotionally blackmailed' a schoolgirl was able to continue working with children for two years after the allegations first came to light.
Miss Woodcock had been able to continue working with children for almost two years after the allegations first surfaced. She first started working as a maths teacher at the Hollingworth Learning Trust at Newhouse Academy in Heywood in April 2020. Miss Woodcock admitted the inappropriate communication with the pupil and failing to report safeguarding concerns relating to the girl's feelings for her but denied hugging her on one or more occasions. However, the panel was shown email evidence in which the pupil told Miss Woodcock: "I will probably want more hugs on Monday".
The officer said that Miss Woodcock had told the group that she had been working as a teaching assistant at a primary school in Rossendale. Although it has not been confirmed how long she was involved with the Scout group she was sharing social media posts about their events in December 2022. A spokesperson for the Department for Education, which oversees the TRA, highlighted guidance from February 2022 relating to prohibition notices.
