<P><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">Hi Lyle and other readers</SPAN></P>
<P><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">VATE made a submission to the VIT review in September 2007. I've been told the report of the review has not yet been released. VATE has written to the review panel to find out where the review is up to and when/how we can get a copy of the report, but there has been no reply. I can't find a phone number or name to contact directly and have only had a post box number to write to, so it's not certain that VATE's letter has made it to the right desk.. If <SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">anyone</SPAN> has information about who to contact please let me know.<BR>

Good on you! I agree totally with your comments. VIT<BR>
is a waste of money and time and should be disbanded.<BR>
I thought it was under review and maybe this PD stuff<BR>
is both an attempt to look like it actually does<BR>
something as well as a money-making venture to cover<BR>
all the costs of its inquisitions into teachers,<BR>
duplicating the work of the police. Does anyone know<BR>
about what stage the review is at?<BR>
Regards,<BR>
Lyle<BR>
