As before, there is a charge to schools for the Appropriate Body service.
Red Kite Appropriate Body has set a flat fee of £200 for the two-year induction (paid in yearly £100 increments) if your school is accessing the ECF full induction programme (through Red Kite or any ECF delivery partner). If your school chooses not to sign up for a full induction programme the AB costs will be higher because the AB has an added responsibility of assessing the fidelity of the provision.
If your school is using the core induction materials to provide a training programme for ECTs, the AB cost will be £500 per ECT, plus £300 per school for programme fidelity checks.
If your school is creating its own ECF development programme, the AB cost is £1,100 per ECT, plus £600 per school for programme fidelity checks.
