I've been in London for most of the last 2 years...doing social work...

Spoken to several Australian teacher's who have all been appalled at the poor resources available to the kids at the schools they've taught at...

The people in the UK are generally prone to act like their Viking ancestors, often for what seems to be the slightest afront...

Torbek...without doubt, please contact the Teacher Registration Board in the UK (Something like to General Teachers Council), it is this body that will register you...without professional registration, it is against the law for you to teach or be hired to teach...

This can be a very drawn out process, so the earlier you begin the better...

You will need a current criminal background check for Oz also...

Child Protection is the flavour of the month in the UK...this country is so regulated by statutes, regulations, policies you will be stiltified...the amount of surviellance the average citizen undergoes is frightening...
