The Teaching Council is the independent regulatory body with statutory authority for the professional regulation of teachers in this State. My Department does not have any direct involvement in the registration of teachers by the Council.

Decisions of this nature are a matter for the Teaching Council and the person referred to by the Deputy should continue to liaise directly with the Council in this matter.
