Complaints & Reports
The Teaching Profession Act authorizes the College to receive complaints and
reports against any individual who holds or has held a College teaching
certificate. There are four main avenues by which a conduct or competence
concern can be brought to the College's attention:
Employer Reports
A report regarding disciplinary action taken or a resignation under section 16
of the School Act/section 7 of the Independent School Act relating to the
conduct or competence of a member
Five-Member Complaints
A complaint signed by five members of the College that relates to the conduct of
a member
Person Complaints
A complaint signed by an individual that relates to the conduct of a member.
See our Person Complaints section
for more information
Registrar's Reports
A report from the Reistrar relating to the conduct of a member (inludes information
relating to criminal charges).
The Preliminary Investigation Sub-Committee (PISC) reviews all new complaints and
reports to determine how best to deal with the case. It will consider a variety
of factors to decide if and how a matter should be reviewed further:
- the timeliness of the report or complaint and when the alleged events occurred
- the nature of the conduct or competence complained of
- any pattern of the conduct or competence
- the member’s disciplinary record with the College
- record of any previous informal resolution process taken
- any previous discipline imposed by the employer or any previous criminal record
- the member’s response in any other proceedings related to the matter
