<p>In May 2018, the Department for Education set out a range of proposals to ensure
that all teachers - from those beginning their induction period to more experienced
teachers - have greater access to high-quality support, expertise and professional
development. The early career framework, which will give all new teachers access to
an enhanced offer of support at the beginning of their career and schools greater
guidance, forms just one part of these commitments.</p><p> </p><p>The department is
working in collaboration with a small expert group and in consultation with wider
experts and stakeholders to establish the framework content. This engagement includes
a special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) focus group. We are clear that
wide sector engagement is critical to ensuring that the framework offers early career
teachers access to greater support from the beginning of their career and that this
support will have a positive impact on all pupils, regardless of school phase, setting,
size and geography.</p><p> </p><p>The SEND focus group are meeting regularly with
the department to ensure that all pupils – including those with SEND and other vulnerable
groups – benefit from the enhanced Continuing Professional Development offer of teachers.</p>
