sec.288 Register of approved teachers to be kept
The college must keep a register about approved teachers. The register may be kept in the way the college considers appropriate, including, for example, in electronic form. The register must contain the following details for each approved teacher— the teacher’s full name; any former names of the teacher; the address for the teacher most recently notified by the teacher to the college; the teacher’s date of birth; the teacher’s gender; for a registered teacher—the day the teacher was first granted registration as a teacher under this Act or a former Act; whether the teacher holds full registration, provisional registration or permission to teach; the teacher’s identification number; details of any qualifications and experience relied on by the teacher to obtain the registration or permission to teach; any conditions of the registration or permission to teach; the current period of the registration or permission to teach; if the teacher’s registration or permission to teach is suspended— the day the suspension took effect; and the period of the suspension; an endorsement or notation about the teacher entered in the register under a practice and conduct order; details of any other practice and conduct order made against the teacher, including the day the order was made and the ground for disciplinary action; details of any practice and conduct agreement entered into with the teacher, including the day the agreement was entered into and the ground for disciplinary action that resulted in the agreement; if applicable, the name of— the employing authority for each school at which the teacher is employed; and if the name of the school is different to the name of the employing authority—each school at which the teacher is employed; other details prescribed under a regulation. For subsection (3) (j) , the information must be contained in the register while the conditions are in force. The register must also contain the following information for a person whose registration or permission to teach was cancelled by the college under section 56 or by QCAT under section 160 — the person’s full name; that the person’s registration or permission to teach was cancelled on disciplinary grounds; the person’s former identification number; if a disciplinary order prevents the person reapplying for registration or permission to teach for a stated period—the period for which the person can not reapply for registration or permission to teach. However, the information mentioned in subsection (5) must be removed from the register— if the person’s registration or permission to teach was cancelled under section 56 —as soon as practicable after the person stops being an excluded person in relation to the cancellation under section 57 (3) ; or if the person’s registration or permission to teach was cancelled under section 160 and the order prevents the person reapplying for registration or permission to teach for a stated period—the day on which the stated period ends. To avoid doubt, it is declared that an order of QCAT made under the QCAT Act , section 66 (1) (c) , does not prevent the college from including the information mentioned in subsections (3) and (5) in the register. s 288 amd 2009 No. 24 s 250 ; 2011 No. 39 s 30G ; 2016 No. 46 s 133 (sec.288-ssec.1) The college must keep a register about approved teachers.
