All schools that offer a statutory induction are required to have an Appropriate Body (AB) for their Early Career Teachers (ECTs). Appropriate Bodies play a key role in statutory teacher induction. 

The Appropriate Body is separate and independent of the Early Career Framework. The monitoring and assessment carried out by the Appropriate Body will be carefully sequenced to reflect the modules covered in the Early Career Framework (ECF), while ensuring that all the relevant teacher standards are met.

State funded schools can choose who they use as their Appropriate Body.  Balcarras Teaching School Hub provides Appropriate Body services to meet the needs of Primary and Secondary ECT's across Cheltenham, Stroud and the Cotswolds.
