Our Fitness to Teach procedures are carried out in the public interest1. Therefore, reference is made to the public interest at a number of points in this guidance and the panel should bear the public interest in mind throughout the decision-making process.
Assessing the public interest will involve consideration of:
the protection of members of the public (in particular, children and young people), both in terms of the teaching setting and beyond
the maintenance of the public’s confidence in teachers and in the integrity of the teaching profession
the maintenance of the public’s confidence in us as a professional regulator
the need to declare and uphold proper teaching standards
the deterrent effect that the determination may have upon other teachers
