Registering an early career teacher (ECT) with an Appropriate Body (AB) is a statutory requirement. Failure to register the ECT as soon as they start at your school may result in a delay to the start of the induction period.

Here are the steps to registering your ECT:

ECT is offered a teaching post

• Conduct pre-employment checks
• Check if the ECT is eligible for induction
• Ensure the ECT is provided a suitable post for induction
