Under the current non-statutory vetting arrangements, the Teaching Council has published its procedures for assessing evidence of character in vetting disclosures. It might be useful to have a look at that. That would give the Deputy an idea of the kind of guidelines they intend to operate under the legislation when it is completed. That will also be published. It would give a picture of what considerations are taken into account in dealing with the vetting process and how the council decides whether someone who is currently being vetted is appropriate to be registered.
