The principal of Gloriavale school has been stood down while the New Zealand Teaching Council investigates claims he failed to keep children safe from abuse by staff and other pupils.
Faithful Pilgrim did not secure the safety and wellbeing of learners, the Gloriavale Leavers Support Trust said in a statement released to media on Monday. Concerns are centred around Pilgrim s knowledge and cover-up of abuse of children by staff and other children, and also his harassment of members in his role as a shepherd at Gloriavale, the statement said.
