A Fitness to Practise Committee of the Education Workforce Council (EWC), sitting remotely on 24, 25, 28 and 29 October 2024, have found an allegation of ‘unacceptable professional conduct’ and an allegation of a ‘relevant offence’ proved against further education teacher, Leah Johns.  

The Fitness to Practise Committee imposed a Suspension Order (with conditions) on Ms Johns’ registration as a further education teacher for a period of 12 months (from 29 October 2024 to 29 October 2025), provided that she meets the conditions specified within this timeframe.

As such, Ms Johns will not be able to work as a registered person (further education teacher) who provides specific services in or for a further education institution in Wales for the period of the Suspension Order. 

Ms Johns has a right of appeal to High Court within 28 days.
