Assembly to institute enquiries into procedures of the Marjorie Evans case … Responding to the Governing Body’s decision regarding Marjorie Evans, Jane Davidson, Minister for Education and Lifelong Learning said:”Once the Governing Body have ratified the conclusions of their disciplinary panel I will be writing to the LEA and the Governing body to request information on the procedures they followed . “We will expect an initial reply, as is normal in such cases, within 21 days. The enquiries will look into the chronology of events and procedures used, not the allegations against Mrs Evans. We will also be consulting with our colleagues in the Department for Education and Employment.” If, on completing our investigations, I conclude that either the LEA or the Governing Body procedures were unreasonable, I can direct them to change their procedures.”
