The Authority may exempt a person from a requirement in clause 7(5)(b) or (f) of Schedule 4A if the Authority is of the opinion that it would not be appropriate to exclude that person from being involved in the conduct of the school boarding premises.

For the purposes of subregulation (1), the Authority must have regard to the following matters—

the nature and gravity of the particular offence or misconduct, and its relevance to conducting a school boarding premises;

the period of time since the person committed the offence or engaged in the misconduct;

the punishment imposed for the offence or misconduct;

whether or not the offence has been decriminalised or the standards of conduct have materially changed since the person engaged in the conduct that constituted the offence or misconduct;

the person's behaviour since the person committed the offence or engaged in the misconduct;

any information given by the person to the Authority concerning the person's conduct in relation to the registration of the school boarding premises;

any other matter that the Authority considers relevant.

A person to whom an exemption under subregulation (1) applies is exempt from the requirements in clause 7(5)(b) or (f) of Schedule 4A in accordance with the terms of that exemption (if any).
