Costs
The Embrace Appropriate Body Service is offered for the three different routes a school can take to deliver the Early Career Framework (ECF).
If a school chooses to deliver an ECF programme themselves using DfE accredited materials or to design and deliver their own programme using the ECF, a process known as a Fidelity Check will need to be conducted by the Appropriate Body to ensure the quality of the programme. Fidelity Checks take place throughout the duration of the ECF programme and are repeated every two years.
Each route is priced to reflect the level of work required.
Route 1: Use a DfE-funded training provider |
Route2: Use DfE-accredited materials to deliver your own programme |
Route 3: Design and deliver your own ECF-based training |
