Good evening. | 0:00:14 | 0:00:16 | |
Nearly 40% of teachers banned from the profession in Wales | 0:00:16 | 0:00:18 | |
in the last two years have been struck off for having | 0:00:18 | 0:00:21 | |
"inappropriate" relationships or conversations with pupils. | 0:00:21 | 0:00:23 | |
The figures were released by the Education Workforce Council, | 0:00:23 | 0:00:25 | |
but teaching Unions say such behaviour is still an uncommon | 0:00:25 | 0:00:27 | |
occurrence in schools. | 0:00:27 | 0:00:30 | |
Nick Palit reports. | 0:00:30 | 0:00:36 | |
Between August 2013 and August 2015, 62 teachers in Wales | 0:00:36 | 0:00:40 | |
were subject to disciplinary hearings and of those disciplined, | 0:00:40 | 0:00:43 | |
13 of them were struck off for having inappropriate | 0:00:43 | 0:00:46 | |
relationships or conversations with pupils in their charge. | 0:00:46 | 0:00:52 | |
The offences ranged from having a sexual relationship with a current | 0:00:52 | 0:00:54 | |
or former pupil, to sending inappropriate messages | 0:00:54 | 0:00:56 | |
or photographs via text, email or Skype. | 0:00:56 | 0:01:01 | |
Despite the seriousness of incidents like this, | 0:01:01 | 0:01:03 | |
the National Union of Teachers say it's still extremely uncommon. | 0:01:03 | 0:01:08 | |
When we actually delve into the figures, you do see this | 0:01:08 | 0:01:10 | |
is a very small number of teachers over a period of a few years. | 0:01:10 | 0:01:14 | |
It is by no means a common occurrence in our schools. | 0:01:14 | 0:01:16 | |
It is by no means something that we see regularly at all. | 0:01:16 | 0:01:20 | |
That being said, of course, any accusation or concern should be | 0:01:20 | 0:01:23 | |
investigated fully and impartially. | 0:01:23 | 0:01:28 | |
A child protection charity said the changing online environment | 0:01:28 | 0:01:31 | |
and social networking in recent years had introduced massive | 0:01:31 | 0:01:34 | |
challenges and risks for the teaching profession. | 0:01:34 | 0:01:38 | |
They say some staff get into trouble out of naivete rather than malice, | 0:01:38 | 0:01:42 | |
and believes schools must ensure adequate training is given | 0:01:42 | 0:01:45 | |
so teachers know the boundaries. | 0:01:45 | 0:01:50 | |
A 20-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of causing serious | 0:01:50 | 0:01:52 | |
injury by dangerous driving after four people were injured | 0:01:52 | 0:01:56 | |
in a crash in Neath Port Talbot in the early | 0:01:56 | 0:01:59 | |
hours of this morning. | 0:01:59 | 0:02:00 | |
A 15-year-old girl remains in a serious but stable condition | 0:02:00 | 0:02:03 | |
following the incident, on the Neath Road between | 0:02:03 | 0:02:05 | |
Tonna and Resolven. | 0:02:05 | 0:02:09 | |
It's been confirmed that a man who died in a fire at a workshop | 0:02:09 | 0:02:13 | |
in Rhyl last week was the owner of the business. | 0:02:13 | 0:02:15 | |
Barrie Newton - who was 71 and from Rhuddlan - | 0:02:15 | 0:02:17 | |
ran the Light Works on Vale Road. | 0:02:17 | 0:02:21 | |
North Wales Fire and Rescue Service say the blaze isn't being | 0:02:21 | 0:02:23 | |
treated as suspicious. | 0:02:23 | 0:02:31 | |
Scientists in Swansea are hoping to be among the first in the world | 0:02:31 | 0:02:35 | |
to use 3D printing to reconstruct body parts to be used | 0:02:35 | 0:02:37 | |
for human transplant. | 0:02:37 | 0:02:38 | |
A team at Swansea University are developing | 0:02:38 | 0:02:40 | |
a process which grows human cells in an incubator before turning them | 0:02:40 | 0:02:43 | |
into a structure which can be printed. | 0:02:43 | 0:02:49 | |
We are trying to print biological structures that we can put human | 0:02:49 | 0:02:52 | |
cells on and provide the right environment and the right timing | 0:02:52 | 0:02:56 | |
so it can grow into tissue that we can | 0:02:56 | 0:03:00 | |
actually eventually put into a human to reconstruct lost body parts such | 0:03:00 | 0:03:08 | |
as parts of the nose, part of the ear but ultimately | 0:03:08 | 0:03:10 | |
larger and more complex body parts. | 0:03:10 | 0:03:18 | |
A major road on Anglesey will remain closed following a landslide caused | 0:03:18 | 0:03:21 | |
by this week's bad weather. | 0:03:21 | 0:03:22 | |
Anglesey Council says engineers are assessing | 0:03:22 | 0:03:23 | |
the safety of the A545 between Menai Bridge and Beaumaris. | 0:03:23 | 0:03:26 | |
The Welsh Government says - it's making a million pounds | 0:03:26 | 0:03:28 | |
available to help councils with immediate repairs and any | 0:03:28 | 0:03:30 | |
maintenance needed to river and drainage systems. | 0:03:30 | 0:03:37 | |
Football, and Cardiff City fell further adrift of the Championship | 0:03:37 | 0:03:39 | |
play-off places - drawing one all with | 0:03:39 | 0:03:41 | |
Nottingham Forest this evening. | 0:03:41 | 0:03:43 | |
The Bluebirds dominated for long spells but were frustrated | 0:03:43 | 0:03:45 | |
by a Forest side unbeaten in seven games. | 0:03:45 | 0:03:49 | |
Tenth-placed Cardiff are now six points behind the play-off spots. | 0:03:49 | 0:03:55 | |
In rugby, Rhys Priestland has reversed his decision to take | 0:03:55 | 0:03:57 | |
an 18-month break from international rugby. | 0:03:57 | 0:04:00 | |
The fly-half's initial decision | 0:04:00 | 0:04:01 | |
was announced by his Bath coach Mike Ford two months ago. | 0:04:01 | 0:04:06 | |
But with the Six Nations approaching, Priestland now wants | 0:04:06 | 0:04:09 | |
to challenge Dan Biggar for Wales' No 10 jersey. | 0:04:09 | 0:04:16 | |

It's time to batten down the hatches again. | 0:04:19 | 0:04:23 | |
This mass of cloud over the Atlantic is a deepening area of low pressure | 0:04:23 | 0:04:26 | |
called storm Frank. | 0:04:26 | 0:04:27 | |
Frank is heading towards Iceland but it is going to bring us another | 0:04:27 | 0:04:30 | |
dose of wet and very windy weather. | 0:04:30 | 0:04:32 | |
Met Office warnings in force for both | 0:04:32 | 0:04:34 | |
wind and rain. | 0:04:34 | 0:04:36 | |
A yellow warning, which means be aware. | 0:04:36 | 0:04:39 | |
In terms of rainfall, we're looking at another | 0:04:39 | 0:04:40 | |
20-40 millimetres quite widely. | 0:04:40 | 0:04:43 | |
More on high ground and given the ground | 0:04:43 | 0:04:52 | |

So turning wet tonight, more heavy rain, strong to severe | 0:05:01 | 0:05:03 | |
gale force winds, that is 60-80 mph in exposed parts | 0:05:03 | 0:05:05 | |
of the west and north-west. | 0:05:05 | 0:05:07 | |
Tomorrow will start windy, another spell of heavy rain, | 0:05:07 | 0:05:09 | |
heaviest on the high ground in the South. | 0:05:09 | 0:05:12 | |
During the afternoon the wind and rain should | 0:05:12 | 0:05:14 | |
ease off, still some rainfall though in the South and West. | 0:05:14 | 0:05:17 | |
The top temperature around 13 Celsius. | 0:05:17 | 0:05:20 | |
Tomorrow night showery rain will spread north and a cold night, | 0:05:20 | 0:05:23 | |
a little snow on the mountains in the North. | 0:05:23 | 0:05:26 | |
Thursday will be a brighter, chillier day, with a mixture | 0:05:26 | 0:05:29 | |
of sunshine and showers. | 0:05:29 | 0:05:31 | |
Some heavy showers accompanied by gusty winds | 0:05:31 | 0:05:34 | |
and again, the showers wintry on high ground in the north. | 0:05:34 | 0:05:37 | |
New Year's Day on Friday should be dry but it | 0:05:37 | 0:05:40 | |
looks like there is more rain and strong winds on the way. | 0:05:40 | 0:05:43 | |

From all of us on the programme, goodnight. | 0:05:52 | 0:06:02 |
