Dinner Lady Sacked For Telling On Girl Being Treated As A Dog: Inquest Begins

by | 1st, November 2010

CAROL Hill is the dinner lady sacked from her job as gloop server at Tey Primary School, near Colchester, Essex, for “gross misconduct”. Her offence was telling parents their seven-year-old daughter was being bullied. That was September 2009. Now, over one year later, Hill’s appeal comes before a tribunal. The law is slow.

Head teacher Deborah Crabb says the girl was “taking part in an inappropriate game which had gone too far“. It was not bullying, says she. She had dealt with the incident.

The boys told Mrs Crabb they were playing “prisoners and guards“. Which was the girl? Well, she was the dog.

Mrs Crabb said the girl had rudimentary treatment to her sore arm and “skipped off“.

Hill (pictured) says she was wrongly sacked -, she was not given a correct notice period and that her rights to freedom of expression under European law were infringed.
