Eligibility and Funding for the ECTE https://www.gov.uk/guidance/funding-and-eligibility-for-ecf-based-training

Guidance on ECF and ECTE grant funding, including the funding amounts across all academic years, is published online: 
• Grant funding for early career training programme for mentors (ECTPM) - GOV.UK
• Grant funding for early career teacher entitlement (ECTE) year 2 time off timetable and mentor support - GOV.UK

Schools do not need to apply for ECF or ECTE grant funding directly. The DfE collects evidence via the Manage Training for Early Career Teachers service and induction data from your appropriate body, helping to reduce administrative burden. 

If schools have further enquiries relating to their ECF or ECTE grant funding, please email the DfE helpdesk:continuing-professional-development@digital.education.gov.uk
