Annual report on registration and regulation 2009-10

reference: P-RGAN-0810

published:  01 Aug 2010

The 2009-10 report summarises the procedures by which the GTC awards qualified teacher status, registers teachers, and certifies induction. It shows how the revised Code of Conduct and practice, introduced in October 2009, underpins the GTC's regulatory work, and explains how that work is carried out, from initial referral to the decision of a hearing panel.

A final section summarises key cases in eight categories, indicating the rationale for decision-making.

This report is important reading for all those concerned with the professional standards of teaching, and in particular the processes for dealing with teacher misconduct and incompetence.
