Register your ECT with OneCornwall
OneCornwall is working with Teach First to support schools in providing their Early Career Teachers with the DfE fully funded ECF Full Induction Programme.
These new developments are explained in the video below and link to the DfE Recruitment & Retention strategy which can be found here
The video below provides you with an overview of the new Early Career Framework reforms and how our partnership with Teach First will provide a quality programme of support and training for your ECTs.
ECT Registrations from September 2024
The DfE are updating their guidance around the DfE Portal and are making improvements to their systems to ensure improvements in the registration process for the September 2023 cohorts. The DfE will be emailing schools regarding these improvements and updates, along with the steps you need to make to hopefully ensure a smoother registration process. Please continue to let us know at ecf@onecornwall.co.uk of any ECTs you will be employing during the academic year and we will update you as to the next steps.
Register your ECT
To register your ECT for an ECF programme with OneCornwall (Full Induction programme, Core Induction Programme or School Based Induction Programme). Please email ecf@onecornwall.co.uk
Do I need to re-register my existing ECT?
Schools who have already registered an ECT with us and who are moving into Year 2 of the programme, do not need to re-register them.
If you are recruiting an ECT who has already partially completed their induction period when they join you, please login to register them on the DfE portal and follow the options on the site.
Please contact us if you require support with this.
You can also find further guidance about induction, training and support for Early Career Teachers here -

Join an information webinar to find out more.
We will be holding webinars in the spring and summer term to help you prepare for recruiting and employing an ECT; they will be on:
Tuesday 15th October 2024 - 2.00pm - 3.00pm
These webinars are suitable for Induction Leads and Heads and will provide an opportunity for you to ask any questions you may have around the ECF Programme.
Please email strevarton@onecornwall.co.uk to know if you wish to attend.
IMPORTANT Appropriate Body Services
All ECTs must be registered with an AB. If you employ an Early Career Teacher (ECT) you must ensure that you register them with an Appropriate Body as soon as possible.
It is important to note that:
- this is completely separate to their ECF programme.
- you can register for AB services with OneCornwall even if you are completing the ECF with another provider.
- AB fees will differ depending on the type of ECF programme being undertaken (Full, Core or School led Induction programme).
