disrepute

In October last year Davies's predecessor, Byron Davies, complained about a different social media post on the Wales Office account, which he said broke civil service code, and brought the government department into disrepute.

The panel concluded his actions were of a "sexual nature" and amounted to unacceptable professional conduct which may bring the profession into disrepute.

However, the panel found his actions brought the reputation of teaching into disrepute and said his conduct "fell significantly short of the standards expected of the profession".

In October Davies was judged to have brought the Welsh Parliament into disrepute by calling Wales' 20mph speed limit a "blanket" policy on social media.

He also called on the chief constable of Essex Police to apologise to Pearson or risk bringing the force into disrepute.
