New Staff Mandatory Training

The Trust subscribes to TES Develop, which provides a wide range of training and updates for all staff, some of which form part of your mandatory induction training as explained above. Once in post you will receive log in information in order to access your personal learning plans and all other available resources.

There will be additional information that is specific to your school setting and these will be shared with you e.g. Absence reporting expectations/  Evacuation procedures/  IT Acceptable Use.

It is really important that you let us know as soon as possible if you have any queries or problems accessing any of the Training. Please feel free to contact us at HR@equamead.org and we will do our best to help.

When you have finished your training please complete and submit the form below in order that your staff record can be up to date. Thank you
