Mental Health Trap - teachers
This article exposes a piece of legislation that could be abused by an educational establishment wanting to dismiss an employee in a most underhand and damaging way. All that is required is for the employer to express a concern about the employee's "health or mental or physical capacity" for employment, and to make arrangements for the employee to undergo an assessment by an occupational health advisor.
Bullying
If you're always having a hard time at work, for reasons that don't make any sense, you might be subject to bullying. Bullying isn't usually a one off incident, but a repeating pattern of relatively trivial incidents which all have the effect of making you feel angry, useless, scared about job security, and which prevent you from being as productive as you want to be. You might fight off criticism of poor performance by working harder, but find obstacles in your way. At first, you probably think you must deserve it for a reason you cannot see, or you put it down to the someone else's stupidity. Eventually, when it comes to a head, someone else will probably tell you you're being bullied.
