New Zealand Legislation: Regulations
Regulations are laws made under Acts
(1) As required by section 139AS(1) of the Act, every report or complaint about conduct received by the Teachers Council must be referred to the CAC.
(2) The CAC must, in accordance with the Act and these rules, deal with every report or complaint about conduct referred to it, unless subclause (3) applies.
(3) If the CAC considers that a complaint of misconduct received under section 139AR of the Act should be dealt with by the current employer of the teacher concerned, the CAC must decline to deal with the complaint and instead—
(a) refer the complaint to the teacher's current employer; and
(b) send a copy of the complaint to the teacher concerned, along with advice that it is being referred to the teacher's current employer; and
(c) advise the initiator of what the CAC has done.
