A teacher has admitted misconduct after sending sexual messages to colleagues.

Damien Nicholson mentioned pornography, drug-taking and "feeling naughty" in messages sent while he was a teacher at Carrick AP Academy and Restormel Academy in Cornwall.

He was suspended in 2020 after allegations were made to the principal.

A Teaching Regulation Agency (TRA) panel found his actions were "out of character" and did not impose any ban on him continuing to teach.

As part of the Wave Multi Academy Trust, Mr Nicholson was employed as a food technology teacher from November 2016 and later promoted to the role of assistant vice principal from November 2019.

Both of the schools were Alternative Provision Academies offering places to children excluded from mainstream schools.

'Inappropriate messages'

The TRA panel heard Mr Nicholson sent sexual messages to four members of staff between 2017 and 2020

Many of the messages were of a sexual nature, including invitations to watch pornography and references to "grabbing bottoms".

In May 2019, it was suggested that Mr Nicholson had messaged one female colleague with what were deemed to be inappropriate messages.

The matter was dealt with by way of a discussion with the principal and given a professional instruction that such conduct should not to be repeated.

In February 2020, a member of staff made a separate report to the principal of Restormel Academy regarding messages received from Mr Nicholson.

Shortly afterwards, Mr Nicholson was suspended and an investigation commenced into his conduct.

At the conclusion of that investigation, Mr Nicholson was invited to a disciplinary hearing.

However, further allegations were made by two other members of staff leading to the investigation being reopened.

'Out of character'

Mr Nicholson, who attended the TRA panel in January, admitted the facts of all allegations against him.

The panel recorded that Mr Nicholson demonstrated remorse in his live evidence and "presented as a contrite and reflective individual."

A clinical psychologist's report submitted to the panel stated: "It is important to consider that Mr Nicholson's behaviours were deemed to be out of character and that he has shown remorse for the harm that has been caused."

The panel concluded that it was satisfied Mr Nicholson was guilty of unacceptable professional conduct.

'Sexually motivated behaviour'

The TRA accepted the incidents were unlikely to be repeated and said while his overall conduct fell significantly short of the standard of behaviour expected of a teacher, he should not be the subject of a prohibition order.

The TRA said: "The findings of misconduct are serious as they involved a sequence of inappropriate and sexually motivated behaviour, including sending messages to a number of female colleagues.

"A prohibition order would prevent Mr Nicholson from teaching. A prohibition order would also clearly deprive the public of his contribution to the profession for the period that it is in force.

"The publication of the findings made would be sufficient to send an appropriate message to the teacher as to the standards of behaviour that were not acceptable."

President Tinubu Forms Special Panel for Overhaul of Social Investment Programs

President Bola Tinubu has taken action to revamp the National Social Investment Programmes Agency (NSIPA). Following the suspension of the four programs under NSIPA for six weeks, President Tinubu has greenlit the establishment of a Special Presidential Panel. Heading this critical initiative is the Coordinating Minister of the Economy and Honourable Minister of Finance, Mr. Wale Edun. The Special Presidential Panel's primary mandate is to conduct an extensive review and audit of the existing financial frameworks and policy guidelines governing social investment programs.

The panel, boasting a multi-disciplinary approach, comprises ministers representing strategic sectors, including Health, Social Welfare, Budget and Economic Planning, Information, National Orientation, Communications, Innovation, Digital Economy, and Youth Affairs.

The aim is to create a system impervious to abuse and incompetence, exclusively benefiting disadvantaged households nationwide. Chief Ajuri Ngelale, Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, made this known on his social media handle on Saturday.

Bridging up the Career Gap with the Right Distance MBA Course

A Masters’ degree in Business Administration is one of the most sought-after careers-both in terms of skill development and career growth. Thanks to the increasing popularity of the online learning model, the past couple of years have shown tremendous increase in the number of students enrolling and opting to do MBA correspondence course.

In the present times, reskilling at work is a Necessity

Reskilling for professionals and upskilling has become an almost inevitable phenomenon. Considering the ever-changing business environment, increased competition, and career growth are some of the reasons that may be attributed to it. While some may seek to do so for advancement of knowledge, distance learning MBA programs and PGDBA course from reputed institutes like Symbiosis Center for Distance Learning are the means to do so.

The recent data and figures also show that the number of learners from institutes known for MBA correspondence course and Distance PGDBA course are growing. There is global acceptance, good curriculum and have proven to be an instrumental in seeking appropriate opportunities for development when students do so from distance learning MBA institutes.

 An independent study revealed 80% of the employees say that upskilling/reskilling training boosted their confidence. And, a whopping 66% of the employees ranked the joy of learning new things and developing new skills as the top upskilling motivator.

Against this backdrop, it would be wise to say that various online learning platforms known for distance learning MBA or a PGDBA from SCDL, offer promises for a lifetime.

The recent data released by All India Survey on Higher Education (AISHE), 2020-2021 showed a 7.5% increase in student enrollments across the country.

The overall mark for students enrolling for distance learning MBA has reached a mark of 4.14 crore.

Business administration through MBA correspondence or PGDBA, data sciences, corporate law, machine learning are among the most sought-after courses.

PBDBA from SCDL

As one of the reputed institutes for distance learning, the PGDBA course can be drawn akin to any distance MBA course. The objective for SCDL is to strengthen vision of flexible learning possibilities.  For the first time in India, SCDL has launched online assessment tools where the students are given maximum convenience, comfort and flexibility in learning to have access to flexible learning possibilities, and ‘anywhere, anytime’ learning.

The focus is on achieving a two-fold objective of quality education and flexible learning, comparable with the distance MBA course in India. The institution has in place academic resources for teaching, evaluation, self-learning material preparation from Symbiosis affiliated institutes. Technology resources ensure flexible learning, wherein the e-learning resources are designed for contemporary delivery styles with a combination of printed study books, online classroom learning, e-mentoring and faculty interaction.

PG diploma in business administration is one of the most sought-after courses taught at SCDL. The course is spread over two semesters spanning one year, that allows participants of the respective programs to decide the pace and style of study, thereby offering a great degree of flexibility and autonomy. The curriculum has been designed by a selected panel of business professionals and prominent academicians and focuses extensively on business case studies and examples.

PGDBA program structure is based on compulsory core courses and specializations. The first two semesters focus on core courses. Students can choose two electives from a long list of possible specializations. It includes six specializations: Marketing, Finance, Management Accounting, HR, Operations and Customer Relationship Management. Students have an option of dual specialization for multi-disciplinary approach.

What has technology in store for law firms in London

Be it is any type of client service business; the torchbearers of the future will be the one who best response to the changing needs of clients. Clients have long been frustrated with the overheads of legal full service delivery and many have reacted by taking more burden in-house, complements by bringing separate lawyers in through ‘lawyer on demand’ providers. Their motto is efficiency. At the same time, they want an all-inclusive global service, easier and more digestible output; providers with deeper knowledge of their business, and procedures to which their in-house teams can actively contribute. We believe now is the time for change, is your law firm ready for this?

One of the foremost challenges for law firms in London will be ascertaining what the preferred global strategy is for their firm in order to meet the needs of global clients. Defining which geographic markets are worthy of new investment and which recognized markets should continue to be supported/invested in is a strategic priority for all. The full-service law firm of tomorrow will be more varied in terms of business model by bringing in offerings such as consulting, forensics, risk to support their overall offering. Innovative firms will think not only about making current offerings more efficient, but how technology can enable them to come up with new services that incorporate their expertise in a different way.

These law firms in London are required to embrace best in class technology into all of their legal processes, and will need to continuously invent as better software tools are produced. Work will still be led by people but they will be augmented by technology, including Artificial Intelligence. Data will also be playing a huge part in the successful law firms’ future. Firms will be able to take control over their shapeless data and this will enable them to develop an expressive understanding of their client’s businesses and their legal risks. Decisions and actions will not only be handled by experience, but by data too.

The new option of providing legal services will rely on a range of professionals, not only lawyers and so having multi-disciplinary teams will be key tomorrow. Law firms will need to come up with enticing career paths for these people in order to invite and retain them. Offering different career/work options so that it can recall access to the best talent while benefitting from a more flexible staffing model will also be necessary. Finally, the law firm of the future may not be a partnership of lawyers, but rather be a multi-disciplinary partnership, a public company or a financial investor-backed private company. The transformation needed to sustain in the new order will be expensive and firms will look to alternative sources of money to pay for it.

Clients will work with less law firms globally and relationships will be long-term and intensely entrenched. Clients will put firms through challenging procurement processes before selecting them for their global legal panels or for exclusive provider status for specific domains of legal service. Associations between law firms and clients for ‘business as usual’ law will look more like outsourcing contracts – designed to meet long-term needs. Law firms will have logical vision across the breadth of their clients’ activities which will make them more worthy to clients and spread relationships beyond the legal settings.
