At the beginning of the period of induction

The NQT must submit the induction as a short-term supply teacher notification form to us within 10 working days of the first session of supply work being undertaken. All sections of the form must be completed, and  submitted to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..

If the entire induction period is completed via short term supply, without any breaks from the profession or switching to complete induction whilst in regular employment, then only one short term supply teacher notification form needs to be submitted.

If the NQT takes a break from the profession, or switches between completing induction whilst in regular employment and short-term supply, then a new notification form must be submitted within 10 working days at the start of each period of induction.

When we receive the notification form, we will:

• check that the NQT holds qualified teacher status (QTS), and they are registered with us in the category of school teacher (please note any periods of employment undertaken before registering in the school teacher category cannot count towards induction)
• check that the NQT is not exempt from the requirement to complete induction, or has already completed induction
• work with the LA/regional consortia to allocate an IM, once allocated their name will be visible via the NQTs MyEWC account

Notification forms will be processed within 25 working days of receipt of complete information. Once we have received and processed the form, an email will be sent to the NQT. We will also provide details of the steps the NQT needs to take to log their short-term supply sessions.

We will share the information provided on the notification form with the induction coordinator at the LA/regional consortia as the AB in induction.
