Induction

Following a public consultation in summer 2007, The Education (Induction Arrangements for School Teachers) (England) Regulations 2008 were laid before Parliament on 17 March 2008. These regulations replace the current regulations, and are effective from September 2008. In summary, the new regulations will:

enable further education institutions to host induction for newly qualified teachers (NQTs) who have been awarded qualified teacher status, provided the institutions comply with the requirements in regulations and guidance
provide a clear, up-to-date definition of the induction period applicable to a range of settings and appointments
allow the appropriate body to shorten the induction period in certain circumstances (as outlined in the regulations) by up to 29 days, taking account of any absences
allow the General Teaching Council for England (GTCE) one extra day to communicate a decision on an appeal
remove the requirement to complete induction within five years of starting the induction period
