Register your ECT with OneCornwall
In September 2025, the DfE implemented a transition from the Early Career Framework (ECF) to the Early Career Teacher Entitlement (ECTE) which marks a significant evolution in the support provided to Early Career Teachers (ECTs). The Early Career Teacher Programme (ECTP) is designed to build on the foundations laid by the ECF, offering a carefully sequenced curriculum of training and professional development.

Do I need to re-register my existing ECT?
- If your school has already registered an ECT with OneCornwall and they are moving into Year 2 of the programme, you do not need to re-register them.
- If you are employing an ECT who has partially completed their induction at another school, you will need to register them as you would a new ECT.
