What is a Teacher Status Check?
A Teacher Status Check looks at the record of a teacher you employ or are considering employing. These checks will search for prohibitions, restrictions and sanctions, including information on how it affects the type of work a teacher can be employed to do.
Appointing a teacher
You should process a Teacher Status Check before appointing a teacher to:
- Check the award of qualified teacher status (QTS)
- Check the completion of teacher induction
- Identify prohibitions, sanctions and restrictions that might prevent the individual from taking part in certain activities or working in specific positions
- View any additional qualifications, including relevant mandatory qualifications and national professional qualifications
- Identify potential restrictions imposed by the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS)
Eligibility for Teacher Status Checks
Schools, sixth-form colleges, local authorities and teacher supply agencies can all apply for Teacher Status Checks.
