Resignations from the Teacher Panel: FOI release
Information requested
How many resignations have there been from the Teacher Panel in each of the last three calendar years?
Please provide any information regarding the resignations including the reasons for the resignation, any statements or letters providing the reason for resignation, and any comments offered by the person resigning.
Response
I include a copy of some of the information you requested alongside this letter. That information is also provided in the table below.
Name Position Date of Leaving Reason Susan Smith Headteacher, Bervie School, Aberdeenshire 28 November 2016 Left post to take up a role at Education Scotland. Louise Sanders Headteacher, Ayton and Reston Primary Schools, Scottish Borders 29 June 2017 Left post to take up roles with the University of Glasgow and the Scottish College of Educational Leadership.
Some of the information you have requested which details those who stepped down from the Teacher Panel in 2018 is already available from https://www.gov.scot/publications/foi-19-00260/. Under section 25(1) of FOISA, we do not have to give you information which is already reasonably accessible to you. If, however, you do not have internet access to obtain this information from the website listed, then please contact me again and I will send you a paper copy.
While our aim is to provide information whenever possible, in this instance we are unable to provide some of the information you have requested because an exemption under section 38(1)(b) (personal information) of FOISA applies to that information. The reasons why that exemption applies are explained in the Annex to this letter.
