Head teacher Shelly-Malabver-Goulbourne wins unfair dismissal case for tapping son's hand to stop hand sanitiser play.
Head teacher Shelly-Ann Malabver-Goulbourne won an unfair dismissal case after being sacked for "assault" for tapping her three-year-old son's hand to stop him playing with hand sanitiser. Despite the police ruling her actions as "reasonable chastisement" by a parent, she was found guilty of gross misconduct and dismissed. An employment judge ruled her dismissal unfair, and she is set to receive damages from the academy trust.
