  13. STAFF QUERY • You are the Chairman of Anytown Governing Body • A member of the teaching staff approaches you to ask your approval to take the last two days of the Summer Term off in order to go on holiday. The teacher explains that her husband is restricted in the dates he can take and if they do not leave for their holidays on that particular date it is unlikely that they will be able to go at all. She would prefer not to approach the Headteacher as he has been less than accommodating in the past. • How would you approach this issue? • Are there other issues to tackle here?

A Headteacher in Difficulty • A member of staff has raised concerns about the Headteacher’s health. • You have noticed ‘mood swings’ by the Headteacher. • The Headteacher has dealt with issues inconsistently • The Headteacher has made bizarre and inappropriate comments about a teacher • You notice that the Deputy Headteacher is more involved in the day to day management of the School • Gossip starts to reach you from parents concerned about the Headteacher’s unusual behaviour.

  15. Complaint from a Neighbour • A neighbour of your school has approached the Head teacher to complain about the parking congestion caused by parents. • You as Chair of Governors has received a letter from the neighbour stating that the Head teacher has told them that his hands are tied and his responsibility ends at the school gates. • The complainant asks for you to take prompt action. • What steps do you take?
