Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what steps his Department is taking to ensure providers of initial teacher meet the requirements set out in the Framework of core content for initial teacher training.

The framework of core content for initial teacher training (ITT) was published in July 2016 alongside two reports on behaviour management content and national standards for ITT mentors. These reports further support providers to meet the framework’s requirements.

In addition, Ofsted uses the framework of core content when making judgements regarding the quality of training and the leadership and management of an ITT partnership. 99% of all ITT partnerships inspected by Ofsted were judged to be either good or outstanding at their most recent inspection.
