Dear Education Council of Aotearoa New Zealand,

In accordance with the Official Information Act, how many teachers have been referred to the Conduct Assessment Committee over the period 1 July 2015 to 1 July 2016?

Of the number of teachers referred, how many were:

- as the result of complaints by members of the public
- subsequently referred to the Disciplinary Tribunal
- subsequently referred to a competency review
- resolved through agreement between complainant and teacher
- not resolved because the Conduct Assessment Committee decided to not to take further action
- a breach of the teacher code of ethics but were not deemed to be 'serious misconduct' by the Conduct Assessment Committee so no further action was taken

Please describe the review or appeal process which is taken to ensure that decisions of the Conduct Assessment Committee is independent, transparent and fair.

Please reply in a digital format via the FYI site.

Yours faithfully,
