Investigations of the 225 reports of unvaccinated teachers
Erika Whittome made this Official Information request to Teaching Council of Aotearoa New Zealand
The request was partially successful.
From: Erika Whittome
Dear Teaching Council of Aotearoa New Zealand,
I refer to the information that there were a total of 225 reports to the Teaching Council subsequent to a dismissal for not complying with the COVID-19 Public Health Response (Vaccinations) Orders 2021 (From https://fyi.org.nz/request/19252/respons...)
1. Of these 225 reports, how many investigations were done that outlined the
dissatisfaction, or the disciplinary process, or the faulty aspects of the teacher’s conduct, or of the teacher’s substandard competence?
2. Would you please share a list of the NZ schools that submitted such reports?
Yours faithfully,
Erika Whittome

Kia ora Erika,
Thank you for your below request for information.
As it stands, we are unsure exactly what you are requesting in your first
question and would appreciate some clarity. Our interpretation is that
you are wanting to know ‘how many of the 225 reports were referred for
further disciplinary processes by the Council?’ Is this correct?
It may be helpful to know that the Council did not view the decision to
not be vaccinated as a breach of the Code of Professional Responsibility
and therefore if the Mandatory Report was solely about a teacher’s
dismissal due to the decision not the be vaccinated, no further action was
taken. You might like to read our media release from this time:
