The Act to which I referred was introduced in 2005. It is, therefore, relatively recent. If we were to substitute the word "qualified", the Teaching Council would only investigate whether an applicant was qualified, whereas it needs to ensure he or she has been vetted and deemed appropriate to work with children.
