A Fitness to Practise Committee of the Education Workforce Council (EWC), sitting remotely on 8 and 9 May 2024, has found an allegation of ‘unacceptable professional conduct’ proved against further education teacher, Julian FUGE.
The Fitness to Practise Committee found the following allegations proven, that whilst employed as a further education teacher at Gower College, Mr Fuge:
- in or around October 2022, gave a hand-written note to Learner 1 with a view to developing a personal relationship with them, in that he wrote:
- his personal phone number
- “we can meet up for a chat about what we feel about each other and where you and I want it to go”
Having made the above findings, the Committee also determined that Mr Fuge’s conduct had been sexually motivated.
The Fitness to Practise Committee imposed a Reprimand on Mr Fuge’s registration as a further education teacher for a period of 2 years (from 9 May 2024 to 9 May 2026). As such, Mr Fuge will be able to work as a registered person (further education teacher) who provides specific services in or for a further education institution in Wales.
Mr Fuge has the right of appeal to the High Court within 28 days.
