This FAQ is for teachers and college lecturers who have been referred to us about their fitness to teach.

Can I come off the Register while my fitness to teach is being investigated?

While we understand that you may want to come off the Register of Teachers, we cannot remove you from the Register while you are subject to our Fitness to Teach procedures. One of the options available to a panel following investigation (and where the allegations are admitted) is to issue a 'Removal with Consent Order', which provides you with an opportunity to agree to the disposal of your case.
