ETHICAL BEHAVIOUR OF TEACHERS
Executive summary:
The following paper is an attempt to identify and resolve a hypothetical scenario of an ethical
conflict of a teacher. The given scenario describes a situation where a student of a slightly
older age bullies his peers with casual sexual remarks and specifically harasses a girl student
with explicit and improper language. Further, he reports that the girl is a victim of sexual
abuse perpetrated by her primary caregiver. Therefore, the teacher needs to intervene for the
bullying and observed problematic sexual behaviour of the former student as well as provide
required assistance to the later for ensuring her security and wellbeing. The paper is a report
of the said scenario that indicates the problem in the first place, identifies the seriousness of
the matters by explaining them in terms of legal and regulatory frameworks. Further, it
presents legislations, government policies and scholarly reports to support the hypothesis.
The report also recommends probable interventions and assistance for both the students,
fortifying the recommendations by another literature. It concludes on a note of the vision of
making schools safe spaces for children’s learning and development.
