Bill Wilson acted for a Teacher referred for investigation by the Disclosure and Barring Service to the National College for Teaching and Leadership (NCTL) following concerns raised during his employment in 2013. There were a number of allegations under investigation spanning 2012 – 2013. Substantial representations were made which thankfully resulted in a decision to take no further action on the part of NCTL. Understandably the Teacher was greatly relieved to avoid the stress and cost of further proceedings which could have ended his career..

Bill’s client recounted "I would like to thank Bill Wilson at Bankside Law for his patience and understanding during the initial phase of a National College for Teaching and Learning investigation. Upon receiving news of a possible investigation I was in a quandary what to do and how best to deal with it. After contacting Bill and speaking to him I found many of my concerns and worries assuaged.  His measured and studied manner helped me through those very worrying times.  The subsequent defence materials collated and presented to the NCTL were professionally put together and articulately laid out. As a result the investigation was dropped and therefore the trauma of a hearing avoided. I have no qualms using Bankside Law, and in particular Bill Wilson, again."
