Induction for short-term supply teachers

The information in this section is relevant to NQTs who are undertaking induction via ad hoc short term supply teaching work and ensures that:

• initial data is collected, collated, and shared by us with all parties involved in the NQTs induction period
• a central accurate record of sessions completed by NQTs undertaking induction whilst working as a short-term supply teacher is maintained
• an IM is allocated to support the NQT
• all relevant parties have access to the NQT’s online induction profile

If we do not receive the short-term supply teacher notification form this will result in:

• relevant parties unable to access the NQTs online induction profile
• the EWC being unable to maintain an accurate record of the induction sessions completed which could have a detrimental impact on the completion of induction

If a period of short-term supply work becomes more regular or a longer-term arrangement, regardless if the employment is still on a supply basis, the school has a statutory obligation to provide the NQT with induction support. Welsh Government guidance considers long term supply as a placement of 11 consecutive days or more in one setting.
