Further support for vulnerable Newly Qualified Teachers
This support is provided
in relation to NQTs that have been identified as being at risk of failing to
meet the Induction Standards following a review of reports by the LA in its role
as the Appropriate Body.
This programme is aimed at
Headteachers and senior managers/Induction tutors within schools who want to
ensure that any NQT who is finally judged as failing does not have a case to
show that the school did not provide sufficient support.
