The appointment of a newly qualified teacher brings with it opportunity, challenge and statutory responsibilities for all concerned – ECT, school, provider and appropriate body (AB).
From September 2024 we are no longer able to be the Appropriate Body for ECTs due to DfE changes in Teaching School Hub responsibilities – but we can continue until July 2024 for those ECTs already registered with us. we can continue until July 2024 for those ECTs already registered with us.
We offer a wealth of experience and expertise in supporting schools to develop ECTs throughout their induction period and fulfil the relevant duties as laid out in the most recent government legislation.

- Advice, guidance, training and high-quality support for induction tutors, mentors and ECTs
- Administration - registration, assessment and administration of the database and electronic system
- Helpline - managed by experienced support staff providing induction advice to all school staff involved in the induction process
- Reporting - to the Teacher Regulation Agency (TRA) at each stage, from registration to completion of the whole induction process
