There is no mechanism for the removal of qualified teacher status (QTS) on any grounds. QTS is awarded following an individual successfully meeting the requirements of the Teaching Standards and this recognition does not change even when a teacher is prohibited from the profession by the National College for Teaching and Leadership.
