New Zealand Legislation: Regulations
Regulations are laws made under Acts
(1) These rules set out how the Teachers Council deals with reports or complaints about the conduct (including convictions) of individual teachers.
(2) Every report or complaint about conduct is investigated initially by the CAC, whose powers are exercised by a panel of CAC members allocated to the matter.
(3) Where possible and appropriate, the CAC resolves the matter by agreement with the teacher concerned and the person who initiated the report or complaint.
(4) In more serious cases, the CAC refers the matter to the Disciplinary Tribunal for a formal hearing.
(5) This rule is by way of explanation only. If any other provision in the Act or rules conflicts with it, the other provision prevails.
(6) Sections 139AT to 139AZB of the Act are set out in these rules, in boxes, so that readers can see how the sections and rules fit together.
