# The General Teaching Council for England (Disciplinary Functions) Regulations 2001, Regulation 9: Exclusion or restriction of Committees' powers


(1) The functions under these Regulations of an Investigating Committee are excluded in a case where—
(a) it is alleged that a registered teacher is guilty of unacceptable professional conduct, a registered teacher has been convicted (at any time) of a relevant offence, or it appears to them that a registered teacher may be so guilty or have been so convicted; but
(b) the Secretary of State wishes to consider the case with a view to exercising his powers under section 218(6) of the Education Reform Act 1988 because it raises issues relating to the safety and welfare of persons under the age of 19.
(2) The functions under these Regulations of an Investigating Committee are excluded in a case where—
(a) it is alleged that a registered teacher is guilty of serious professional incompetence or it appears to them that a registered teacher may be so guilty; but
(b) information has not been provided to the Council pursuant to regulation 29 in relation to that teacher.
