View answerUnder the Teaching Council Act 2001 the Teaching Council is, since 2006, the independent statutory regulatory body for the teaching profession. A key function of the Council is maintaining the register of teachers in the State and registration of teachers including setting criteria and procedures for probation for registration.
Accordingly, the person who is the subject of the question should continue to engage directly with the Teaching Council.
