ECT Registration
1. There are two separate sign-up processes for AB and for the ECF programme. Unless both are completed by schools, ECTs will not be registered.
2. All ECTs must be registered with an Appropriate Body (AB) in order to complete statutory induction. This is done on ECT Manager.
3. All ECTs must complete a 2-year induction that is based on the Early Career Framework. Registration for the ECF programme is done through the DfE portal.
If you register your ECT with the Arthur Terry TSH, North Birmingham for both AB and for our ECF full induction programme, all of your ECT services will be in one place. This will also simplify the registration process. You will have one point of contact within the TSH team who will be able to respond rapidly to your queries and support you through the registration process on ECT manager and the DfE portal.
AB and ECF Registrations for ECTs starting in your school in September 2024 are open now.
Step 1 – All schools
Time Frame: ASAP
Please complete the expression of interest form which asks whether you intend to use the Arthur Terry TSH, North Birmingham to provide your Early Career Framework and / or Appropriate Body provision during the 24-25 academic year. Once you have completed this, the ECF team will be able to signpost you to each stage of the registration process.
Step 2 – Schools with ECTs joining them in September
Time Frame: ASAP
Log onto the DfE portal to check that the correct Induction Tutor is nominated. This will ensure your Induction Tutor receives the correct information to register your ECTs when the portal opens at the end of June.
Step 3 – Schools with ECTs joining them in September
Time Frame: 17th June 2024 or 20th June 2024
Attend one of the Arthur Terry TSH ECT briefings for Induction Tutors. The TSH ECT team will be running two briefings:
- Monday 17th June: 3.45 – 4.45. This session is for new Induction Tutors and will provide comprehensive training on the registration process and the role of the Induction Tutor.
OR
- Thursday 20th June: 3.45 – 4.30. This session is for experienced Induction Tutors and will explore the changes in the process and factors to consider as we move into the fourth year of the ECF programme.
You can sign up for one of these briefings on the expression of interest form.
Step 4 – Schools with ECTs joining them in September
Time Frame: By 1st September 2024
All ECTs must be registered with an Appropriate Body by September 1st 2024.
Once you have the full details of your ECTs, and the name of the mentors, you can register them with us on ECT manager.
Please be aware that Local Authorities (including Services for Education) will cease to offer an Appropriate Body Service from September 2024 so all ECTs must be transferred to a TSH AB.
Step 5 – Schools with ECTs joining them in September
Time Frame: From the 24th June 2024
The DfE registration portal will open on the 24th June 2024. Schools will receive an invite from the DfE to register their ECTs on a rolling basis from this date. Once you receive your invite, please register your ECTs and mentors ASAP to ensure ECTs and mentors have access to the online learning platform in September.
