An accused former teacher was supported in a bid to adopt a child by a psychiatrist who believed he could “cure him” – and intervened to stop him being sacked from Fettes College over abuse allegations, an inquiry has heard.
Wares was admitted to the Royal Edinburgh Hospital in 1977 as his “drinking was out of control”, and his wife was unsure if she could continue their marriage, and he had also been admitted for three months in 1975, the inquiry heard. Fettes College was apparently unaware of claims of “indecent practices” in South Africa, and “temper outbursts” and allegations of sexual abuse at Edinburgh Academy when Wares was hired in 1973.
Wares was sacked in December 1979 from Fettes College after another allegation was made, and medical notes said he “planned to return to South Africa”. Robert said there was “no obligation” to report concerns within the NHS, and that it would have been considered a breach of patient confidentiality in the 1970s.
