The purpose of this provision is to provide for non-compliance with an undertaking given by a registered teacher following an inquiry by the disciplinary committee under section 43 of the Act, as an additional reason for complaint under section 42, inquiry by investigating committee. If a teacher has agreed to measures as part of an inquiry it makes sense that non-compliance with the measures can be followed up. This is the same structure as applies for other regulators. Section 42(1)(g), dealing with conviction for an offence, is already in the Bill.
