Are hearings held in public?

Hearings are usually held in public.

Members of the public can attend, including the press.

Your name will be referred to at the hearing unless a Panel has ordered it is anonymised.

In exceptional circumstances, a Panel can prevent or restrict the public disclosure of any aspect of the hearing, including witness evidence.

In most cases, we will publish the Fitness to Teach decision on our website. Your evidence may be included. Your name will be anonymised.
