London: British
teachers have called for prosecuting students who falsely accuse
them of assaults following concern over a rising number of
malicious allegations.
The teachers' trade unions want pupils be routinely reported to
the police after making unfounded claims simply to get their own
back on teachers, The Telegraph reported.
According to teachers' trade union The NASUWT, lying
schoolchildren "must understand there is a consequence" to making
allegations that are "unjust and malicious".
The comments came in the wake of new figures showing the vast
majority of claims made against teachers were unsubstantiated.
Data from the NASUWT shows that fewer than one in 20 allegations
of unlawful behaviour made against teachers last year - including
assault, sexual abuse and serious threats - resulted in court
action.
