Qualified teachers in maintained schools in England undertaking specified work, which covers the activities they carry out in their teaching capacity like the planning of lessons for pupils, are required to be registered with the General Teaching Council for England*. However, others carrying out specified work in schools or training as teachers are not required to be registered because they are not qualified teachers. This document sets out proposals to extend registration with the GTCE to these other groups, which includes trainee teachers, Overseas Trained Teachers not working towards Qualified Teacher Status and instructors. This would enable the Council to assess applicants for provisional registration for their eligibility and suitability to be teachers before registering them and they would also be subject to a code laying down standards of professional conduct and practice expected of teachers. This should enhance the professionalism of the wider teaching profession.

Proposals in the strategy aim to create strong communities which have a variety of places for children to play and in which they have a stake through their active involvement in design and decision making. We propose to make public space more child-friendly through a variety of actions including placing a stronger focus on spaces for play in the planning system; training for people who design and manage public space; supporting local community ownership of space suitable for play; and supporting more positive relationships between adults and children in public space. By publishing the strategy we want to raise awareness of how we can all help children and young people to play. The strategy document sets out the questions we would like you to respond to. This is an open consultation and all your views are welcome.
