A Fitness to Practise Committee of the Education Workforce Council (EWC), sitting remotely on 5 to 8, and 29 November 2024, has found an allegation of ‘unacceptable professional conduct’ proved against school learning support worker, Chloe Munn.

The Fitness to Practise Committee found the following allegations proven, that whilst employed as a school learning support assistant at Llandough Primary School, Miss Munn, during a school trip on or around 18 April 2023, left three pupils unaccompanied outside a toilet, and/or did not make other staff aware that she would be going into the male toilets. In doing so, Miss Munn failed to safeguard pupils.

The Fitness to Practise Committee imposed a Reprimand on Miss Munn’s registration as a school learning support worker for a period of 2 years (from 29 November 2024 to 29 November 2026). As such, Miss Munn will be able to work as a registered person (school learning support worker) in a maintained school or non-maintained special school in Wales for the period of the Reprimand.

Miss Munn has the right of appeal to the High Court within 28 days.
