In the most serious cases, the sanction of suspension or removal from the Teaching Council Register will be available to the Council’s Disciplinary Panels. These provisions are in line with those of other regulators such as the Medical Council and the Nursing and Midwifery Board. The Teaching Council of Ireland have welcomed the new regulations and will administer this new process as part of its remit to promote and regulate the profession. They have labelled the introduction of the process as a “very significant development for teachers and wider public”. The Council has also developed a series of information leaflets that explain the practical aspects of the Fitness to Teach complaints process for teachers, their employers and members of the public. These are available for download from the Teaching Council website. What do you think of the new Fitness to Teach regulations?
