Employer access is a free service available for schools, local authorities and teacher supply agencies in England. The service enables employers and potential employers to view the record of any teacher with qualified teacher status (QTS) (with the exception of teachers who have achieved QTS through holding qualified teacher learning and skills (QTLS)) or any teacher with an active restriction (including any teacher with QTLS to whom this applies).

It also provides access to separate lists of:

  • teachers who have been prohibited from teaching
  • teachers who may be the subject of a suspension or conditional order imposed by the GTCE (prior to its abolition) that is still current
  • teachers who have failed to successfully complete their induction or probation period.
