Hello all ,
Looking 4 some advice on my situation with work. Had incident with old work colleague 18 mths and was given a management instruction . I thought the Union were brilliant and made my bosses look like idiots I’m my disciplinary. I got management instruction on my file . The lady didn’t come back to work . Mainly as she lied a lot on her statement etc. Recently , I feel my boss is going for me with seemingly petty things . I walked off site and have been signed off with stress around 2
/3 mths ago..I went for interview as want to get out of the place . It
so toxic I cannot stand it . I feel I may have another job ( in same area - teaching assistant ) , but I am really scared the new school (if I get job ) will find out and withdraw my offer if I get it later this week . Any help anyone can give would help my worrying. Thanks

Unfortunately nobody can help your worrying - but if you have an otherwise excellent track record with your current employer, a minor disciplinary warning (if that's what it was) won't necessarily stop you getting the new job. Given that the title of your thread is 'job ands sick' [sic], have you had a lot of sickness absence?

The OP has been off with stress for the past 2 or 3 months apparently.

OP, no-one can second guess whether the other school will find out about the disciplinary or how much they will care if they do.
It may be that your existing manager will give you a glowing reference as they also find it awkward working with you and would like you gone.

It may be that any reference will be a very rigid, formulaic one answering specific questions only. If that's the case, it may well mention that you had a recent disciplinary, (assuming, it's not clear from your post, that  there was some form of sanction against you) and may also mention your sickness record which might be off-putting. 

If I were you, I would focus on trying get back to work and doing the best you can , while continuing to look for new jobs elsewhere.
