Title: Review into the functions and operations of the Employee Performance and Conduct Directorate (EPAC) within the New South Wales Department of Education :report /by Mark Tedeschi ; assisted by Christine Melis. [ElectronicResource] Author: Tedeschi, Mark. Added Name: Melis, Christine. Added Corporate Name: New South Wales. Department of Education. Subject: Teachers -- Labor discipline. Teachers -- Employee rules. Collation: 177 pages [PDF] Summary Note: "In order to maintain confidence in EPAC among those who work in the Department and within school communities, it is necessary for EPAC to be seen to act in a fair, impartial, consistent, transparent and timely fashion, and in a manner that respects the procedural rights of those whom it is investigating and disciplining. Over time, criticism has been levelled at EPAC from a variety of sources. Those criticisms have included accusations of: procedural unfairness; lack of timeliness; lack of consistency in decision-making; inadequate investigations; confirmation bias against persons subject of allegations (PSOAs); poor communication with PSOAs, alleged victims (AVs), and school managers; failure to provide support to Principals and Directors Educational Leadership (DELs) in local management of investigations; inadequate resourcing; and a failure to act fairly and impartially in the investigation of allegations of misconduct. The staff of EPAC consist of well-intentioned people wanting to do a complex and highly pressured job in a professional manner under difficult circumstances. This Review has identified some measures that, if adopted, will go a long way to overcoming the criticisms that have been levelled at EPAC." - p. 6.
