Christina Manning, 36, was caught driving nearly four times the limit with three children in her car after downing wine – on the day she launched her child minding business. Suspended sentence.

Our thanks to Ed for this. An extract:

At the time, Manning was working as a supply teacher at Princes Primary School, Liverpool, and she was reported to the Teaching Regulation Agency.

Craig Underwood, who chaired the virtual TRA hearing on January 19 this year, said in his judgement: ‘The panel noted that the behaviour involved in committing the offences could have had an impact on the safety or security of pupils and/or members of the public.

‘The panel were clear that it was more luck than good judgement that nobody was hurt and that this could have resulted in serious injury to a pupil or member of the public.

‘The panel noted that Ms Manning’s behaviour ultimately led to a sentence of imprisonment, (albeit that it was suspended), which was indicative of the seriousness of the offences committed.’

ALBEIT that it was suspended?!!! How on earth is a suspended sentence “indicative of the seriousness of the offences committed”?
