Hi everyone,
I am a provisionally registered early childhood teacher so hopefully it's okay to post here.
I work in a large non for profit organisation and recently a parent complained and said their child said I grabbed their wrist. I firmly deny this allegation. I take my job and child safety seriously so I am extremely distressed and hurt by this allegation. I have been removed from the Kindergarten room while they investigate. This is humiliating because now everyone knows.
I understand the centre needs to do their job but I am freaking out that this could be reported to VIT and I will lose my registration. I was due to start my inquiry project in June. I am terrified I will lose my job and career over an untrue allegation.
Has anyone been through an investigation or have any information?
EDIT: Thank you for all the comments. I have contacted my union and have a phone call meeting on Monday.
Thanks.
