Registration and regulation
FtP case studies
In our latest Fitness to Practise (FtP) case study, we take a look at an example of where a registrant was prohibited from the Register after a proven case of unacceptable professional conduct, because of misrepresenting their qualifications.
These case studies are based on real life examples and created to give registrants valuable learning points, to uphold and comply with the Code, and protect their registration.
ITE accreditation
We have completed our latest round of initial teacher accreditation (ITE) provider visits. You can find the full list of accredited ITE programmes on our website.
Minimum qualifications for FE teachers and adult learning practitioners
Some of our registration categories require minimum qualifications in order to be registered with us and to practice. Information about the minimum qualifications needed are on our website.
Supporting registrants
We have several videos on our YouTube channel to support registrants, including our latest on the Code of Professional Conduct and Practice. It offers an overview of the Code, the expectations on our registrant, and the services we offer. Be sure to share it with registrants in your setting.
Council updates
New Council members
On 2 September, we welcomed two new members on to our Council who bring expertise from lecturing and senior leadership. They join the 12 other members (who have been in post since April 2023), to make a full Council cohort.
