Publication date: 28 June 2024
A Fitness to Practise Committee of the Education Workforce Council (EWC), sitting remotely on 24, 25 and 26 June 2024, has found an allegation of ‘unacceptable professional conduct’ proved against further education teacher, Mr Robert Walker.
The Fitness to Practise Committee found the following allegations proven, that whilst employed as a Lecturer at Bridgend College, Mr Walker allowed learners to use a calculator in an Application of Number examination, when he knew this was not allowed, on the following separate occasions:
- 29 March 2023, 11:00 to 12:00
- 29 March 2023, 13:00 to 14:00
- 31 March 2023, 12:15 to 13:15p
Having made these findings, the Committee also determined that Mr Walker’s conduct was dishonest and demonstrated a lack of integrity.
The Fitness to Practise Committee imposed a Reprimand on Mr Walker’s registration as a further education teacher for a period of 2 years (from 26 June 2024 to 26 June 2026). As such, Mr Walker 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 Walker has the right of appeal to the High Court within 28 days.
