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

How long will you keep the referral made about me?

We keep this for 15 years in line with our Records Management Policy. This ensures that we have a record of it should someone submit the same concerns later. Referrals that have already been made, received, and considered by us will not be investigated by us unless re-consideration of that decision is in the public interest.

This ensures that we are fulfilling our regulatory function following the law openly.
