Former Campion College teacher being investigated for 'inappropriate behaviour'

The Centre for the Investigation of Sexual Offences And Child Abuse (CISOCA) has launched an investigation into allegations of "inappropriate behaviour" involving a former teacher at Campion College and a student. 

The investigation was launched after the St Andrew based institution, through its board chairman, issued a report to the authorities on the matter. 

"As soon as the allegations were brought to the attention of the administration of the school, we took immediate steps to address this matter. This resulted in the resignation of the teacher in question and the matter being brought to the attention of the relevant authorities," chairman Anton Thompson wrote.

"We are committed to providing a supportive environment and ensuring that every student feels secure."

Thompson said the school is "cooperating fully" with the ongoing investigation and counselling services are available for students who need support. 

He said queries should be made to acting principal Lavare Henry.
