There are a number of teachers registered with the Teaching Council with conditions that are due to expire on 31 December 2015. This expiry date has been extended to the 31 January 2016.
The Council is communicating directly with the teachers concerned. Teachers are required to notify the Council in writing where they have addressed their conditions of registration. The required information that should be submitted is outlined here . If you have encountered extenuating circumstances that have prevented you from completing a condition of registration, you may be eligible for an extension. Further information in relation to extensions can be viewed here Currently the Council is processing extension requests and outcomes are notified to a teacher directly by letter.
Teachers who wish to submit documentation that the condition has been met, or an extension request, should include relevant supporting evidence. This should be submitted to the Council before Friday, 4 December 2015.
If teachers employed in state funded positions do not fulfil their conditions by 31 January 2016, and if they have not engaged with the Council in the interim, their registrations will lapse. This means that the payment of their salaries will be stopped by the relevant paymaster (DES or ETB). It is of vital importance that all teachers in this group make contact with the Council immediately. The lapsing of the registration of any teacher has serious implications for all involved and is not something that the Council wishes to see happening.
