Enfield Appropriate Body provides a high quality and professional Appropriate Body Service for Primary, Secondary and Special School ECTs. Experience along with a good understanding of our local schools and context result in us working successfully to guide schools and ECTs through statutory induction for Early Career Teachers.

Enfield Appropriate Body will play a key role in induction by:

• Registration of ECTs with the TRA (Teaching Regulation Agency)
• A Quality Assurance Role that ensures a suitable Early Career Framework (ECF) programme of support development is in place for Early Career Teachers (ECTs) and assessment of ECTs is fair and consistent
• Ensuring that Early Career Teachers receive their statutory entitlements
• Provide ECF fidelity checks, ensuring schools are supported to provide ECTs with an ECF-based induction
• Checking whether Early Career Teachers are receiving a programme of development, support and training based on the Early Career Framework
• Monitor progress reviews each term where a formal assessment does not take place
• Ensure all schools are supported throughout the year with their induction processes
• Provide support and advice for Induction Tutors
• Support schools where there are concerns about struggling ECTs
• Provide advice on variations in induction e.g. Reduce the length of induction for an ECT or management of absence which effects the induction period
• Determine completion of induction year and exemption from induction year
• Review assessment forms
• Make the final decision as to whether the ECT has satisfactorily met the Teachers’ Standards.
