Advice to the General Teaching Council for Scotland on aspects of its fitness to teach process
22 May 2025
The General Teaching Council for Scotland (GTC Scotland) commissioned the ÌÇÐÄ´«Ã½ to undertake a review of its Fitness to Teach (conduct) function. Within the commission, GTC Scotland asked us to undertake a review of three areas:
- A performance review of GTC Scotland's Fitness to Teach (conduct) process, against Standards 14-18 of the ÌÇÐÄ´«Ã½â€™s Standards of Good Regulation, adapted so as to be appropriate for the context in which GTC Scotland works; to include a case file audit and discussions with staff and stakeholders
- A review of GTC Scotland’s legislation, rules and guidance relating to the process
- A review of the operational efficiency of the process.
We have set out our findings in this report.
