Two members of staff at a school for children with learning disabilities have been suspended after complaints were made against them.
The two employees of Shorefields, which has sites in Holland Road and Leas Road, Clacton, are being investigated as a result of the allegations. The exact nature of the complaints has not been disclosed.
Jo Hodges, head at Shorefields, said she was keen to reassure all parents that the matter was being dealt with properly and standards at the school were as high as they have ever been. A spokesman for Essex County Council said it took any complaint made extremely seriously and it had been supporting Shorefields School.
