The General Teaching Council for England (Disciplinary Functions) (Amendment) Regulations 2011
These Regulations amend the General Teaching Council for England (Disciplinary Functions) Regulations 2001 to make changes to the provisions about membership of Investigating Committees, Professional Conduct Committees and Professional Competence Committees of the General Teaching Council for England (“the Council”). The amendments remove the obligation for there to be a member of the Council on each such Committee and provide that members of the Council may not be appointed to Professional Conduct or Professional Competence Committees (which determine allegations of unacceptable professional conduct or serious professional incompetence, or conviction of a relevant offence, against registered teachers).
