Italia Conti's student welfare officer was behind transphobic, xenophobic and homophobic social media posts, according to The Stage.

The training institution said it has "ended its association" with the person responsible for the posts and intends to launch an investigation, according to an email seen by The Stage.

Last week, the school issued a statement in which it apologised and launched an email address for students to raise concerns, following the social media posts.
