- Former science teacher Matthew Udall has been permanently banned from the classroom after giving a young pupil a pen containing a hidden camera.
- Udall encouraged the girl to change her clothes at home before using the pen, but she noticed the camera lens and reported him to school staff.
- The 33-year-old was sentenced to 31 months in prison after pleading guilty to inciting a child under 13 to engage in sexual activity and attempting to observe a private act.
- A Teaching Regulation Agency panel concluded that his actions were sexually motivated and had the potential to cause serious harm to the pupil.
- The prohibition order was imposed with immediate effect and no option for review, permanently preventing Udall from teaching in the UK.
