Who will have access to the information on the register?

Teachers:

All teachers will have full access to the information held on their data record, and will be able to check and update it. Please contact the Registration Team for further details

Employers and Prospective Employers:

It is the obligation of employers to ensure that a teacher is both “eligible to teach” and is registered with the GTCNI. The Council will, on request, provide employers and prospective employers with a detailed print-out on a registered teacher. This contains specific information about the registered teacher and his/her qualifications.

Employers and perspective employers requiring a detailed print-out should make a written request, on the organisation’s official paper, giving the following details:

Teacher’s Full Name and

School Employed at or

Date of Birth or

National Insurance Number or

Teacher Reference Number
