End the bullying of teaching staff by senior leadership with a ‘change agenda’

Rejected 10 signatures

What the petition asks

4/5 teachers have recently reported to have been bullied in their workplace. Many are leaving the profession and there is a recruiting crisis. Senior leaders should be held accountable if they use tactics to push out more expensive, experienced staff to make way for NQTs.

This issue will only continue to get worse if ignored. Teachers are reporting abuse to their governing bodies, local authorities, unions and OFSTED to no avail. If there is a law in place that will hold senior leaders to account when they use recognised tactics to force teachers out of their schools (because they’re deemed too expensive or too influential) then more teachers will stay in the profession and young people’s education will not suffer.

Why it was rejected
