Appropriate Body Support for Early Career Teachers (ECT) 

As of September 2023, in line with DfE guidance, Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ can no longer act as an Appropriate Body for new ECTs. 

Those schools appointing ECTs post September 2023 should contact the local Northern Lights Teaching School Hub at tshinfo@nllt.co.uk to seek advice about the appropriate body service.

Schools with ECTs currently registered with Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ for appropriate body services can continue to receive the support and advice of a dedicated ECT co-ordinator and administrator, where applicable, until July 2024.

This ensures that both the school and the Council meet all the necessary statutory and legislative obligations needed for induction.
