Using ECT Manager
All schools must register ECTs on our online system ECT Manager when they select the Five Counties TSHA as the Appropriate Body.
Registering your ECT with an appropriate body is a legal requirement and is separate to the ECT CPD programmes offered through Ambition or EDT.
To do this, please register your ECTs and mentors with the online system ECT manager, choosing either Bristol, North Somerset and Somerset, or South Glos and BANEs, depending on where your school is.

Important changes to Appropriate Body services from September 2023.
From September 2023, local authorities and the NTA will no longer be able to register new ECTs with their AB services. Instead, any new ECTs will need to be registered with the Appropriate Body Services through a teaching school hub, like the Five Counites Teaching School Hubs Alliance. However, Local Authorities / NTA will be able to complete the cycle of induction and support for any existing ECTs registered with them until the end of August 2024. We have been working closely with local authority partners to ensure a smooth transition while we all understand these changes, however, please note no new ECTs will be able to register with National or LA AB services such as those from Integra in South Glos, Somerset LA or Bristol LA
