Do you know of a hounded head?

13th September 2002, 1:00am
I AM concerned that there is some evidence of at least one case in Scotland where a former headteacher feels that he or she has been hounded from their post by the actions of staff who have adopted a culture of grievance and orchestrated a campaign against the management of the school.

I am trying to discover whether this is true both in the particular and in general. It would therefore help me to hear from any headteacher in Scotland who believes that he or she has evidence of such actions, or from classroom teachers who think they have been wrongly accused of such actions by management.

Any such information sent to my parliamentary address below will be treated in the strictest confidence.
