Have you received a Notice of Complaint from the ATPC?

Receiving a notice of complaint from the Alberta Teaching Profession Commission (ATPC) can stop you in your tracks. Your heart races, questions swirl and it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. The most important thing to know is this: you don’t have to go through this alone.

Your first step? Call the Alberta Teachers’ Association. Ask for Regulatory Affairs and you’ll be connected to a regulatory affairs officer (RAO) who specializes in helping teachers respond to professional discipline complaints. This officer will explain the ATPC process, answer your questions and invite you to a confidential intake interview where you can share your side of the story.

From there, the RAO will help make sure you are paired with a representation officer, an experienced staff member who will support you in each step of the process, including preparing for interviews, providing strategic responses and representing you if the matter proceeds to a hearing.

Remember that you’re not alone—you have expert support. 

Call early. We’re here to help.

If you have received a notice of complaint from the ATPC, contact the ATA’s Regulatory Affairs team immediately. Call 1-800-232-7208 or email professionaldiscipline@ata.ab.ca for support.
