Registration and regulation

FtP case studies

We have launched the first in a new series of case studies illustrating common challenges and pitfalls that can lead to a fitness to practise hearing. Based on real examples, we aim to offer valuable learning points to help our registrants comply with the Code, uphold the highest standards in their profession, and safeguard their registration.

Join our fitness to practise panel

We will soon be looking for registrants to be part of our fitness to practise panel. Panel members play an important role in maintaining standards of professional conduct and practice, whilst helping to safeguard learners, parents/guardians, and the public.

Keep an eye on our website and social media for more information soon.

Induction

Employing a newly qualified teacher (NQT)?

Don’t forget to submit the induction notification form to us. Submission of the form will allow all parties involved in the NQT’s induction to access the online profile, and ensure the NQT is allocated an induction mentor.

Council updates

Next Council

The next meeting of the Council will be held on Thursday, 14 November 2024.

Any members of the public, including registrants, can observe a Council meeting. More information about attending a meeting, is on our website.

Guidance, resources, and professional services

Using the PLP to support your staff

We have been working with different organisations to develop tailored resources in the Professional Learning Passport (PLP) to support registrants with their professional learning and reflection.
