Generate Teaching Hub provides an Appropriate Body Service

In addition to Local Authorities, Generate Teaching Hub can provide an Appropriate Body service and assess an Early Career Teacher’s (ECT) induction; we report on progress for each teacher to the Teacher Regulation Agency. To register with our service, school leaders need to complete a registration form (see the relevant documents below) for the chosen Early Career Framework route your school has adopted. Once submitted our team will be in touch to explain the necessary assessment plans.

Fully Funded ECF (also known as the Full Induction Programme), e.g. for those registered on our Teach First ECF programme:

This option requires no additional fidelity checks by the Appropriate Body reducing the service cost and time involved for schools (as well as enabling the school to access additional mentor time grant from the DfE).

• Appropriate Body Early Career Teacher registration form 
• Generate Teaching Hub Appropriate Body FIP Handbook (v7)
• Progress Review Form (usually used in Terms 1, 2, 4 and 5)
• Formal Assessment Form (usually used in Term 3)
• Final Assessment Form (usually used in Term 6)
• Interim Assessment Form
• Part Time Induction Request
• Request to Change Induction Length Form
• Cause for Concern Form
• DfE Induction Handbook for School Leaders
• DfE Appropriate Body Guidance

Complete a registration form and return it to hub@wpat.uk to join our service.

DfE Accredited Materials used by a school (also known as the Core Induction Programme):

This route requires a series of fidelity checks on the programme the school develops and a deeper depth of reporting by the school for each ECT; the school is not able to access the mentor grant.

• Pre-Programme Review for the CIP route
• Appropriate Body ECT registration form 
• Generate Teaching Hub Appropriate Body CIP / SIP Handbook (v3)
• Progress Review Form (usually used in Terms 1, 2, 4 and 5)
• Formal Assessment Form (usually used in Term 3)
• Final Assessment Form (usually used in Term 6)
• End of year Programme Review for the CIP route
• ECT Interim Assessment Form
• ECT Part Time Induction Request
• ECT Request to Change Induction Length Form

• DfE Induction Handbook for School Leaders
• DfE Appropriate Body Guidance

Schools opting for this route should submit a pre-programme review in advance of the induction period starting, and then provide a completed registration form for each ECT and return it to hub@wpat.uk to join our service.

Schools that are designing and delivering their own ECF programme (also known as the School Led Induction Programme):

This route requires an indepth set of fidelity checks on the programme the school devises and a comprehensive report on each ECT’s progress; this is the most costly option due to the extra work involved for the Appropriate Body and school. Also, the school cannot access the additional grant for mentor time.
