Your requirements
The statutory guidance on ECT induction doesn't say that you need a specific policy, but you must make sure that you're compliant with other requirements. Use our ECT induction checklist to help you.
ECT induction is not included in the list of statutory policies published in the governance guide for maintained schools.

Our policy was developed in consultation with the union NAHT and it's:
- Designed for you to adapt to suit your school's context
- In line with good practice and requirements that schools offer an early career teacher entitlement induction programme
- Approved by Forbes Solicitors
