Overview

• Police allege the July 11 incident involved the worker dragging the boy by the arm twice and throwing him onto a mattress, with the child’s shirt torn near the armpit.
• The centre says the educator’s employment was ended immediately after the child and a parent reported the incident, citing a zero-tolerance policy.
• The centre reports it notified the NSW Department of Education and the Office of the Children’s Guardian and has worked with authorities.
• The woman received a court attendance notice for common assault and is due before Bathurst Local Court on November 17.
• This case follows a separate recent arrest in the region, where a 24-year-old worker was charged with reckless wounding over an August incident and was granted conditional bail.
