The role of the Appropriate Body (AB) is to ensure that Early Career Teachers (ECTs) are provided with the necessary training and support to ensure they can demonstrate competence in performance against the Teachers Standards by the end of the induction period and that the induction has provided a sufficient foundation to equip ECTs with the tools to be effective and successful teachers.
The appointment of an Appropriate Body is a statutory requirement of the induction period of all ECTs. The AB will decide if the Headteacher's recommendation, that the ECT has met the required Teachers’ Standards, is correct. The AB is responsible for quality assurance within the induction process. It will establish if the Headteacher is aware/capable of meeting their responsibility to the ECT and that the monitoring, support, assessment, guidance and procedures in place are fair and appropriate.
The AB is also responsible for providing data to the Teaching Regulation Agency regarding the progress of all persons who start and complete the induction.
