# The Education (School Teachers' Pay and Conditions) Order 2001, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order further amends the School Teachers' Pay and Conditions Document 2000 (“the Document”) with effect from 28th March 2001. The Document was given effect by the Education (School Teachers' Pay and Conditions) (No. 3) Order 2000 (S.I. 2000/2321) with modifications on 1st September 2000 and it was amended by the Education (School Teachers' Pay and Conditions) (No. 4) Order 2000 (S.I. 2000/3106).
The Order makes provision about complaints by classroom teachers of unlawful discrimination in the determination of an application for review of a threshold assessment decision. A classroom teacher who does not pass the threshold and whose review application is not successful may complain to his employers if he suffered such discrimination by the review officer who determined his review application. Where the employers uphold a teacher’s complaint they have power to remit the teacher’s review application for re-determination by a different review officer.
The Order makes arrangements for threshold assessments to be carried out directly by an assessor where a head teacher has himself applied for threshold assessment. Provision is also made for the transfer of threshold assessment applications to teachers' new schools or local education authorities where the school at which the assessment process started closes.
The Order also makes consequential and minor amendments to the Document.
The Document is published by Her Majesty’s Stationery Office and is obtainable from book shops of The Stationery Office Limited and through booksellers.
