Thank you for your review. Getting feedback, positive or negative is a vital part of getting better at what we do. We would always take allegations of this nature really seriously and it is the complete opposite of the working environment we strive for at TeacherActive. Given that the review has been posted anonymously we have no way of reviewing your employment or the reasons you no longer work here. We can say, however, we have no record of anybody raising any such allegation during their employment. If you would like to discuss this further please email feedback@teacheractive.com and we will look into any potential misconduct. Regards TeacherActive
