If you are employing an ECT starting their induction at your school in September 2024, please ensure that you complete the following steps:

1. Let your ECT induction programme provider know that you wish to register with them – they will need to contact DfE and let them know. You can find out more about the ECF-based induction programme that we offer here.
2. Choose your Appropriate Body (AB) and let them know that you wish to register with them. From September 2024, local authorities will no longer be providing AB services. If you wish to join the Julian TSH AB, please contact us to request a service level agreement.
3. Identify your induction tutor and make sure they have access to the DfE online service, Manage Training for Early Career Teachers.
4. Register your ECT(s) and their mentor(s) on Manage Training for Early Career Teachers. Your school’s induction tutor should do this; they will be asked to specify your chosen AB and your chosen ECT induction programme.
5. When your chosen AB confirms you can do so, register your ECT(s) on ECT Manager. Induction cannot begin until you have done this, and your AB has authorised the registration.
6. Your chosen ECT induction programme provider will receive the information that you have entered on Manage Training for Early Career Teachers and will send you an email with next steps.
