New ‘Bring It’ creative materials, introduced in January 2022 also strongly reflect the diversity of our young target audiences and the fact that this generation value diversity and want reassurance that teaching is for people like them.</p><p> </p><p>Last year, Apply for Teacher Training, our new application service for initial teacher training (ITT) in England,  was rolled out nationally.

The accreditation process is ongoing and the second application round will close on 27 June.
