At the recent roadshow, and during State Council, the Secretary was quizzed on the inordinate delay that is occurring with EPAC investigations. Our concerns are around the delay in obtaining the allegations made when Principals are taken out of their school and the enormous impact that is having on the welfare of our colleagues as they sit in limbo waiting to address any allegations. The presumption of innocence, fair treatment and levels of support were robustly discussed. We continued with the Minister in the same vain. Vexatious complaints and complainers were also mentioned as we seek a solution to those often debilitating processes as well.

Both the Minister & Secretary understand where we are coming from & are open to reviewing processes. Deputy Secretary Murat Dizdar has followed up on some individual cases for us in an effort to hasten the process and look after the wellbeing of our colleagues.
