51 Arrangements between Teachers Registration Board, DPP, and Commissioner of Police for reporting of offences
This section applies to an offence that—
has been committed, or is alleged to have been committed, by a person who is a registered teacher or the holder of a special authority to teach under Part
6, or is believed to be or to have been a registered teacher or the holder of a special authority to teach under Part
6; and
raises serious concerns about the person's fitness to be, or continue to be, registered as a teacher or the holder of a special authority to teach under Part 6.
The
Teachers Registration Board, the Director of Public Prosecutions and the Commissioner of Police must establish arrangements for reports to be made to the Board of the laying of charges for offences to which this section applies and the outcomes of the proceedings on the charges.
The arrangements must define the offences to which they are to apply and specify the contents of the reports and the times within which the reports must be made.
The
Teachers Registration Board, the Director of Public Prosecutions and the Commissioner of Police must conduct reviews, at least annually, to ensure the continuing effectiveness of the arrangements and their implementation.
