01 Early Career Teacher Entitlement and ECF

A huge thank you and well done to all the ECTs and Mentors who have now completed their first (or another term) of their training and induction! We are currently working with Teach First to identify those ECTs and Mentors who have not yet fully engaged and will be contacting them shortly. If you have had difficulties accessing Brightspace or attending seminars, then please do contact us – we are here to help!

If schools have any ECTs joining them after the Christmas Break, then do make sure that you have registered them for their induction and training. There are two steps to registration:

ECTs and Mentors must be registered with the the DfE’s online Manage Early Career Teachers Service (known as the DfE Portal).
