Essex County Council local authority no longer operates as an Appropriate Body (AB). This is because DfE now expects schools and settings to register ECTs with the teaching school hub AB for their local area. You can find an appropriate body on the Gov.uk website.
This means Teaching School Hubs (TSHs) are now the main providers of AB services and local authorities no longer carry out this role. This is in response to the Opportunity for All White Paper published in March 2022.
To find out more we recommend you read DfE’s Appropriate body reforms briefing pack (PDF, 248KB).
