A GLASGOW teacher has been accused of strapping a child into a chair and refusing to help another pupil to use the bathroom at a complex needs school.

The teacher, whose identity has not yet been released, worked at Linburn Academy in Cardonald which accommodates for secondary aged young people with “profound and complex learning difficulties”.

It is alleged the teacher did not assist a pupil, who used the Makaton language programme to communicate, to use the bathroom, causing the youngster to soil themselves.

The educator is also accused of using vulgar language in reference to and in front of pupils, stating one child “just likes to sit and w***”, and failed to follow protocol when moving a child from a wheelchair to a side layer – instead manually lifting the boy when a two-person hoist was required.

A placement student teacher was allegedly asked to make sure no-one was around to witness the alleged moving of the pupil.

Upon investigation by Glasgow City Council, it’s also said the teacher allegedly told authorities they had followed the protocol in lifting the pupil when this wasn’t the case.

It’s reported the teacher failed to react to two other staff, known only as colleagues A and B, when they swore, made sexually explicit comments, shouted and shoved two pupils in their presence.

The teacher is also alleged to have failed to react when the same colleagues made a pupil stand up and called him “disgusting” or words to that effect.

The General Teaching Council for Scotland said the allegations, which occurred between December 2016 and January 2017, demonstrate a lack of integrity and dishonesty.

A hearing will be held to discuss the allegations and the educator’s fitness to teach next week.

Glasgow City Council has been contacted for comment.
