24D Placing accreditation on hold during leave of absence from teaching
The Authority may, on application by a person who is accredited, place the person’s accreditation on hold during any period that the person takes leave of absence from teaching in New South Wales.
Any such period may not, except in any particular case approved by the Authority, be less than 6 months or more than 5 years.
A person is taken not to be accredited under this Act during a period in which the person’s accreditation is placed on hold.
During the period—
the person may undertake courses or carry out duties to enable the person to satisfy the requirements of the professional teaching standards relating to professional development and continuing teacher education, and
the Authority may suspend or revoke the person’s accreditation.
The placing of a person’s accreditation on hold under this section also has the effect of suspending the period in which the person is required to satisfy conditions for continuing accreditation under the professional teaching standards.
Note.
See also sections 30 (7) and 31 (6) which provide that any period that a person’s accreditation is placed on hold under this section is to be disregarded when determining the period of a person’s provisional or conditional accreditation.
