Summary of request
Full request
I require a copy of the GTCS's Charity's Governing Document.
Response
I refer to your request for information dated 14 March 2024 (FOI 23-24/97) for a copy of the General Teaching Council for Scotland’s (GTCS) “Charity’s Governing Document” which we have handled under the Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act (FOISA). We requested clarification from you 14 March 2024 to which you responded on the same day.
In your clarification you indicated that you required “the set up document for the charity which explains its purpose” as it relates to GTCS’ charitable status.
The GTCS constitution is the Public Services Reform (General Teaching Council for Scotland) Order 2011 which is available through the link provided in this response. As this information is otherwise available, I have applied section 25(1) of FOISA.
I hope this information is helpful. If you are dissatisfied with this response, you may contact informationgovernance@gtcs.org.ukto request GTCS conduct a review of this decision. You should describe the original request and explain your grounds of review. You have 40 working days from receipt of this decision to submit a review request.
