A former music teacher turned convicted child exploitation offender, David Eccott, has been permanently banned from teaching after a year-long cover-up. Once a respected visiting music educator for Bromley Youth Music Trust, Eccott was arrested in January 2021 but didn’t inform his employer until after he’d already retired — continuing to teach while under investigation. He pleaded guilty in September 2022 to making and distributing indecent images of children, receiving a community order, fine, and a five-year Sex Offenders Register listing. Despite claiming he lacked legal advice and didn’t fully grasp the charges, the Teaching Regulation Agency found no remorse or insight — and deemed him a continuing risk — leading to an indefinite ban to protect children.
