There is a grievance procedure agreed between the Irish National Teachers’ Organisation and the principal management body.\u00a0 Its purpose is to provide a mechanism for the resolution of grievances in a national school which a teacher or a principal teacher may have against the board of management in respect of the exercise of its functions to the chairperson or principal teacher.<\/p>\n
It is to relate generally to breaches of school rules, policies, procedures or practices.\u00a0 It will not deal with matters covered by specific legislation such as anti-discrimination legislation and matters which are more appropriate to industrial relations type bodies.<\/p>\n
There is a multistage procedure.\u00a0 There is provision for appeal of the board of management’s decision to an independent Tribunal.\u00a0 The chairperson of the board is to notify the patron, the general secretary of the INTO and invite these parties to select an agreed independent person to act as chairperson of the Tribunal and each to appoint a person who is not associated with the matter.<\/p>\n\n
