UK ANSWERS PLEASE Do you have grounds to complain if a teacher falsely accuses you of child abuse?

It depends. Did this teacher actually say 'you are abusing your child'. Or did they just involve social services because of concerns about your child's wellbeing. Teachers have a DUTY to report any concerns they have about a child, this includes neglect which is a form of abuse. If Social Services have been called to your house for no reason, this is because child abuse is very difficult to detect, as I am sure you are aware from the 'Baby P' case, child abusers are very devious and will do anything to avoid being found out.

I personally would find it humiliating but also I would understand that they are only doing their job. Try not to get too upset, co-operate, and then no further action will be taken. If however you act agressive and are un-co-operative they may very well think you have something to hide.

If you feel this teacher has acted unprofessionally, then complain to the Head Teacher.

You say the accusations were unfounded, but teachers are under extreme pressure to report anything suspicious to the social services - even the slightest unexplained bruise is enough to raise suspicions right now. The teacher was just doing their job, social services visited and decided nothing was wrong - no harm done, surely? You can complain to the teacher and the school, but unless you can prove the teacher was doing it in a malicious way or to stir up trouble for you, it will just be accepted by the authorities as an honest mistake by someone who is under huge pressure to report any suspected abuse.

all of us has an excellent to *****. whether you're justified in complaining is yet another count number. are not getting me incorrect it is not uncomplicated to not take it in my view whilst social centers come knocking at your door. inspite of the undeniable fact that from a instructor's perspective jointly as a toddler is in school they have an obligation of care and a duty it is to not be taken gently. positioned it this sort, if a toddler became being abused and a instructor did not act there would be lots extra in threat....

Most teachers must report incidents of POSSIBLE child abuse. This is not saying its happened, it putt's people investigating to prevent child abuse. Your avenues are many to complain, but you must realize, this will not be necessary if they made a false claim.

As a parent, I personnaly would go postal if I were in your shoes.

Yes, you most certainly do. Not only can you complain to the teacher's employer but you should see a solicitor. You can probably have that teacher fired pretty easily.

I would approach the school asap and demand an explanation , if they won't cooperate see a lawyer.

Not under your political structure. You are a "subject". "Subjects" don't have rights.
