Regulation 11 Misconduct reports

Where a person is dismissed from relevant employment on grounds of his misconduct (whether or not he is convicted of a criminal offence) or he has resigned in circumstances where his employer would have dismissed him, or considered dismissing him, on those grounds had he not resigned, his employer shall report the facts of the case and provide such further information in his possession or control as relates to the circumstances giving rise to the dismissal or resignation to the Secretary of State.

In paragraph (1), the references to “dismissed from relevant employment” include the termination by the local education authority or the governing body of a school or further education institution of a person’s engagement to provide his services as a teacher in relevant employment otherwise than under a contract of employment and references to “dismissed” or “dismissing” shall be construed accordingly and the reference to “resignation” includes the termination by that person of such an engagement.
