On 15 December 2017, the Department for Education launched a consultation exercise on Strengthening Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) and Improving Career Progression for Teachers.

This consultation explores how teachers could be supported during the early stages of their careers by strengthening Qualified Teacher Status (QTS). This consultation also explores proposals on how all teachers can be supported throughout their careers, whether they are expert classroom teachers, school leaders or specialists in their field, for example through continued professional development, mentoring, and sabbaticals.

This event is your opportunity to hear more about the consultation and to have your say to help shape future policy in this area.
