sec.31 Requirements for renewal—permission to teach
This section applies in relation to a person who applies for renewal of permission to teach under section 28 . The college may renew the person’s permission to teach if the college is reasonably satisfied— the person is suitable to teach; and each condition of the person’s permission to teach (if any)— has been fulfilled; or is being complied with at the time the college considers the application for renewal. For deciding whether the person is suitable to teach, sections 15 to 19 apply, with any necessary changes, as if— the application for renewal were an application for permission to teach; and the applicant for renewal were an applicant for permission to teach; and the renewal of the permission to teach were the grant of the permission to teach. However, section 16 applies in relation to previously-provided police information for the person only if— the college proposes to make a decision under section 32 (1) — to renew the person’s permission to teach with conditions; or to refuse to renew the person’s permission to teach; and the previously-provided police information is relevant to the decision. s 31 amd 2014 No. 62 s 132 (sec.31-ssec.1) This section applies in relation to a person who applies for renewal of permission to teach under section 28 .
