Newly Qualified Teacher (NQT) Induction 2013

Registration with an Appropriate Body

All maintained schools who have appointed an NQT have an obligation to appoint an Appropriate Body to monitor and accredit NQT Induction, in accordance with statutory guidance 2.21 and 2.24;

2.21 An NQT cannot start their induction until their appropriate body has been agreed.

2.24 Once an NQT has been appointed, the Headteacher must notify the appropriate body in advance of the NQT taking up the post. Failure to do so may delay the start of the induction period. (2.24)

Please be advised if you want to appoint Norfolk as your Appropriate Body you must register as soon as possible. Full details of costs and our service provision can be found on MI sheet 147/13.
