Sadly, this is indeed the case, Jim - there are so many people out to make a swift buck without any consideration whatsoever to whom they accuse.
After 35 years in a huge comprehensive school I was sure to make many allies and some enemies amongst the pupils and therefore any memory jogging can't be a good idea - hence my desire to remain incognito.
Deputy Heads and above are recommended to remain union members, just in case.....for the other ranks it's up to them.
I can't comment on out of court settlements or the frequency of them, but for sure it's an open cash register for some.
