Ready to give up, Reader's Comment, Teachers are powerless to stop schoolyard violence, NSW High School Teacher, 01 September 2009: http://www.thepunch.com.au/articles/teachers-are-powerless-to-stop-schoolyard-violence/ Historical link preserved from the original page.

NSW Education Department bureaucrats are reluctant to tell complainers that they have no real complaint.

EPACed is a tool they have brought over from Police internal investigations.

A complaint is made and even when it’s proven you are innocent or that the complaint is false and malicious you are left with a similar result - ‘complaint unsubstantiated’ (not false, frivilous or totally disproven).

The bureaucrats don’t want to offend the ‘complainer’ by telling them they have no complaint so they leave it in a grey area where no side’s argument is proven or disproven.

That way we all feel better about ourselves don’t we, unless you are of course innocent, but the government doesn’t care about that, after all you work for them and they don’t care about you or your career.
