A teacher whose sacking led to protests last month has lost her appeal to be reinstated into her previous position at the college she worked at for 30 years.
Nina Doran, 52, was fully dismissed from her position at the City of Liverpool College in March after being suspended the previous September, with the college citing gross misconduct and a breach of confidence as the reason for her suspension and later dismissal. Protests led by her former colleagues followed her sacking, with unionised colleagues accusing the college of ' trade [union] victimisation'.
Nina since appealed to the college board against the decision to dismiss her. But last Tuesday she was informed that she had not been successful in these efforts.
