We are excited to be working with University College London (UCL) to offer the Full Induction Programme (FIP) of the Early Career Framework (ECF) for all Early Career Teachers (ECTs formerly NQTs). To help schools better understand these new statutory induction requirements, we are holding a further two webinars to talk through the necessary actions for schools to take. There will be time for colleagues to ask questions within these sessions however if you simply require the information, please watch the recording of our previous webinar ECF Information webinar.
The two new webinar options are:
Monday 14th June, 11.30am-12.15

If you are already aware of the new changes and are wondering what the next steps to take are, the three things below are of key importance:
Look for an email from the DfE inviting you to sign up to their new online service. This will ask you the details of your Induction Tutor and to select how you intend to deliver the Early Career Framework.
There are different options that schools can take, one of which is the fully funded Full Induction Programme. We strongly advise attending one of our webinars, or contacting us, in order to fully understand the implications of the different choices.
If you want to do the Full Induction Programme with us, you then need to express interest here - ECF Expression of Interest form
Schools should have received an email from DfE from this (very long!) email address - department.for.education.teacher.continuing.professional.development@notifications.service.gov.uk
Below is the information we have been given for schools who have yet to receive their email. There is a website link you can use to prompt another email, or there is a DfE e-mail address you can contact. We hope it helps!
Email invites have been sent to all maintained schools and academies. The invite will have been sent to the email address(es) registered against the school in GIAS (Get Information About Schools). This is usually an office@, admin@ or head@ email address.
GIAS is accessed via DfE Sign-in (DSI), the department’s identity and access management system.
DfE Sign-in logins are managed within your establishment; to obtain a login please contact your DfE Sign-in approver.
If you are still unable to locate your approver, your approver is no longer at your establishment or you have any other query regarding DfE Sign-in please contact the DfE Sign-in service desk by completing a DfE Sign-in support request -
https://help.signin.education.gov.uk/contact/form
After logging in to DfE Sign-in select the Get Information About Schools application from the menu which will open your establishment record.
To edit your details, select 'Edit' which will show the fields in an editable mode. Once you have made your changes click 'Save' on the confirmation page.
If schools cannot find the original email, schools should visit https://manage-training-for-early-career-teachers.education.gov.uk/ and regenerate a new email invite to the address they have registered with GIAS or emailcontinuing-professional-development@digital.education.gov.ukfor support
