Employment provisions - Teacher Misconduct

 

The Teaching Regulation Agency (TRA) will gain new powers under the Bill to investigate and prohibit a person who ‘is or has (at any time) been a teacher’. Therefore, the TRA can consider allegations of serious misconduct that occurred after a person has stopped teaching.

The above analysis relates to Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill which has not yet become law and may be subject to change as it passes through Parliament. We will be posting updates to this page if there are any key developments but the above may not reflect the latest changes to the legislation.  Please contact our School Support (schoolsupport@wslaw.co.uk)  or Schools HR (schoolshr@wslaw.co.uk) teams if you require an update on the latest status of the Bill.
