Ms Justice Mary Ellen Ring:

The complaint comes to us, we send it out for investigation, and the results of the investigation come back to us. We know what the outcomes are, but we have no involvement in the investigation, unless we are supervising it. In terms of outcomes, superintendents have, in fairness, sanctioned their own colleagues, so it is not that they find no misconduct. In fact, they can find significant misconduct and be quite proactive in dealing with their colleagues. We have indicated in our statistics that because superintendents and inspectors have a lot of things on their plates, some come back to us fairly quickly and others take longer.
