    1. This Review has relied heavily on the morethan 105written submissions that werereceived from interested parties, including: stakeholder organisations; former PSOAsand their relatives and friends; former complainants and AVs(and their families); officers in other Divisions and Directoratesof the DoE; school Principals and DELs; former and present employees of EPAC; and the senior Executives of EPAC

      Why were teachers not given the opportunity to input into the investigation?

    1. Investigations should be put into one of three categories and be finished within three, six or nine months, depending on the seriousness of the complaint.

      This is not possible if police are involved.

    2. The review was informed that EPAC staff had reported an increase in the number of matters where a decision has been made in EPAC to allow an employee to continue their employment in the department, yet the OCG had barred that same person from working with children,"

      This seems strange, because it would be illegal for the employee to continue to work as a teacher once their WWCC bar is in place.

    3. some investigations have dragged on for more than two years.

      If police are involved it would take two years, which would not be the fault of EPAC.
