The General Teaching Council for Northern Ireland (Registration of Teachers) (Amendment) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2015
These Regulations amend the General Teaching Council for Northern Ireland (Registration of Teachers) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2004 (“the 2004 Regulations”) to provide that the General Teaching Council for Northern Ireland (“the Council”) may remove a person’s entry from the register of teachers on grounds of misconduct. They also provide that a person whose entry in the register has been removed will have a right of appeal and for the Council may make rules in relation to decisions. They substitute regulation 3 of the 2004 Regulations to update legislative references to ensure that a person who is prevented from teaching in Great Britain is not eligible for registration in Northern Ireland.
