Overview

• A Teaching Regulation Agency panel found Charlotte Doman sent dozens of Instagram messages between April and May 2023 detailing her sexual experiences and professing love for a pupil
• The panel concluded her communications were driven by sexual gratification rather than maternal concern and had a “seriously damaging” impact on the student and school community
• Investigators heard Doman encouraged the underage pupil to drink alcohol, smoke cannabis and skip school to spend time alone with her
• Doman denied any sexual motive and claimed she viewed the pupil “like her child,” but the panel rejected this explanation
• On behalf of the Secretary of State, Marc Cavey enforced the indefinite prohibition from teaching, to be reviewed after five years
