WhatsApp messages show teachers mocking vulnerable pupils
23 November 2023
Teachers used swearing and poo emojis to criticise vulnerable primary school pupils in a WhatsApp group chat, BBC Scotland News can reveal.
The existence of the chat between staff at Aberdeenshire schools was first revealed last year but the affected pupils' parents were not informed.
The messages have now been obtained by the BBC and show derogatory exchanges about pupils and parents.
