Register on the DfE sign in service

Schools will need to use DfE Sign-in to approve and manage access to the service. Schools need to nominate a DfE Sign-in approver to manage these activities. Typically, this would be a headteacher or induction tutor.

‍

When a school registers an ECT or mentor, they only need to provide the:

• teacher reference number (TRN)
• date of birth

If your school already partners with London South, please confirm your partnership with our chosen Lead Provider, the UCL Institute of Education. If you are a new partner, please select UCL as your preferred Lead Provider.

‍

Register with an Appropriate Body

An ECT can’t start their induction until they are registered with an Appropriate Body service. All schools must ensure ECTs are registered with an ECF programme and an Appropriate Body service.
