Number of employees trained by region (including reaccreditation) - Merit Protection Board

It is a requirement for all selection panels in DEECD to include a merit-trained employee as a member of any selection panel. To facilitate this requirement, the Merit Protection Boards provide training in the principles of merit and equity for principals, teachers, education support class employees and members of the public service.These programs are conducted statewide and are supported by DEECD through the provision of senior personnel to deliver those sections of the training that focus on human resource policies.
