Internal review of a decision to withdraw approval of a system of non-government schools
An applicant or approved authority for a system of non-government schools may request an internal review of a recommendation of the Registration Committee to the Minister that the approval to form a system of non-government schools be withdrawn.
The review process is undertaken by two Inspectors who were not substantially involved in making the original recommendation. The documentation considered by the review Inspectors includes that submitted by the applicant or approved authority previously and any additional documentation that the applicant or approved authority wishes to have considered, the Registration Committee's decision and the reasons for that decision.
An internal review report is prepared by the Inspectors.
In dealing with an internal review of a recommendation by the Registration Committee to the Minister to withdraw approval of a system of non-government schools, the full Board will consider any written comments from the applicant or approved authority in relation to the decision of the Registration Committee, the Registration Committee's recommendation and the reasons for that recommendation and the internal review report prepared by the Inspectors.
There is no recourse to the Tribunal against the recommendations made by the Registration Committee or to the Board, following an internal review, or in relation to a decision by the Minister to withdraw approval of a system of non-government schools.
