Our representation and advocacy work is informed by consultation with our Members and key priorities for the sector which have included the market review/future of school-based ITT, curriculum design and assessment, Early Career Framework/ECT support, NPQs, mentoring, subject knowledge enhancement, mental health and wellbeing, diversity and inclusion and SEND.
