Legal assistance for supervisors

Questioner

I work as a supervisor at a residential facility. Here I have problems with a 14-year-old girl. She has been admitted for behavioral and upbringing problems. She is crossing boundaries and often has to be addressed about it. Now she accuses me of having touched her breasts. This allegedly happened after I held my breath during an escalation. Here I did indeed grab her by the shoulders. She reported this to safe home tilburg march no report. What can I do, report slander and or libel?

You would be wise to have your side of the story recorded, preferably in consultation with your employer. After all, your employer is partly liable for your behavior during your work. You must take into account the possibility that multiple reports or a report will follow, and you will have to adjust your care for this girl accordingly. It would not be unwise to monitor the treatment of your client, for example by means of camera registration, in order to remove any doubt. By filing a report, you are moving the case from the healthcare perspective to the criminal perspective. Is that the right way to go from your professional perspective?
