Multiple Counts

That Cathy TWIST also repeated these offences in the case of James R. Walker –v- London Borough of Lambeth.

Mr Walker was the former Head Teacher of Henry Fawcett Primary School in Kennington in the London Borough of Lambeth.

James Walker was sacked from Henry Fawcett Primary School in Kennington over claims of bullying and after raising concerns about its budget. Lambeth Council was determined to remove him, the South London Employment Tribunal heard.

But Mr Walker said it was "a disgrace that Lambeth has used public funds to push me out of my job, and I hope the actions of those responsible for this waste will be thoroughly investigated".

The Employment Tribunal criticised two senior education officers - Cathy Twist and Claire Cobbold.

Barry Gilhooly, a former assistant director at Lambeth who carried out the investigation into the allegations against Mr Walker, was also criticised by the tribunal which found his investigation was flawed.

Simon Hughes, MP for Bermondsey and Old Southwark, said: "...I have rarely found a tribunal as willing to condemn as many people, senior people who came before them, for not telling the truth.  This is not good enough..."

The local Labour MP, Kate Hoey, said Lambeth Council objected to Mr Walker for "resisting their policies." But an employment tribunal said the bullying allegations were a "stalking horse" to remove him and the investigation one-sided. The hostility of the council towards Mr Walker "bordered on callousness". He won his claim for unfair dismissal. Far from being the perpetrator of bullying, Mr Walker has been on the receiving end of astonishing municipal bullying...”
