Circular number 11/95

List 99

 

  1. List 99 contains the names, dates of birth and teacher reference numbers of people whose employment has been barred or restricted, either on grounds of misconduct or on medical grounds. If a person's employment is restricted, the entry shows the types of employment in which he or she is permitted to work. People barred on misconduct grounds are listed separately from those barred on medical grounds, but no details of misconduct are given.

  2. Similar details of people who have been struck off the Register of Teachers in Scotland or barred from teaching in Northern Ireland are included in Annexes to the List. The suitability of these people has not been considered by The Secretary of State, but action under the regulations could be taken should it come to light that any of them were seeking relevant employment in England and Wales.

  3. List 99 is a sensitive and confidential document and access to it is strictly limited to individuals responsible for checking the suitability of applicants. The purpose of List 99 is to enable employers to safeguard against employing a barred person. It should be emphasised that not all those on the list are perceived to be a danger to children.
