Presenting officer Sara Lewis told the remote hearing that in September 2019 the girl alleged to staff that Mr Jones had offered her £100 to complete a decorating job at his house and said she could stay overnight in a spare room. Sarah Hopkins, who carried out the college’s internal investigation, said: “It was not appropriate for Mark Jones to offer her paid work at his home or to stay overnight. This behaviour compromised his professional responsibilities.” The girl described Mr Jones as being “over-friendly with her”, and said he had told her over text during the final two weeks of college that he had completed an examination on her behalf.
