Sex teacher report a ‘serious wake up call’ – Parata (TVNZ)
Education Minister Hekia Parata released the findings of a Ministerial Inquiry today which outlines 35 recommendations to close the “significant gap” in the employment process for hiring teachers.
The recommendations include a police check for anyone who moves from a provisional teaching license to full registration and teachers informing schools if they change their name.
The Government is also considering making teachers use biometric photo identification when they switch schools.
The inquiry was ordered earlier this year after it was revealed sex offender Te Rito Henry Miki, 40, managed to work in six schools over four years despite a supervision order that prevented him from coming into contact with children.
