ECT Induction - Important update from Ealing Appropriate Body (AB) (news item 11 June 2024)
Information on deadline for final reports 2024, reminder that from September 2024 Ealing LA will no longer be acting as an appropriate body and retention of assessment reports.
- Currently Ealing Local Authority acts as the Appropriate Body (AB) and will continue to provide AB service until September 2024 for the cohort that commenced induction in September 2022.
- From September 2023, new regulations come into force, and the AB service will be offered by Teaching School Hubs (TSH). So, schools will be able to access AB services from a TSH that makes the most sense for their circumstances. Here is more information on Appropriate Body Services from September 2023.
- Our local TSH is Teach West London (TWL) and they will provide AB services from September 2023. For more information, please see TWL flier.

Working with two or more appropriate bodies
2023/24 is an unusual year and schools may feel a little overwhelmed working with two or more appropriate bodies. Ealing AB has produced guidance to support schools in managing working and engaging with two or more appropriate bodies. Here is the short guide on working with two or more ABs 2023/24 (pdf)
