Safeguarding the profession and the public
Have you checked your staff are registered?
Education practitioners can’t work in Wales without being registered with us, in the correct category for the work they do. As an employer/agency, you have a legal responsibility to make sure your staff are registered before they begin working. That includes any visiting workers such as supply staff, peripatetic teachers, and hourly paid staff (such as music tutors and sports coaches).
You can use your online access to the Register to check the registration status of your staff now.
Maintaining confidentiality
We have published a new good practice guide on the topic of maintaining confidentiality. It includes information to help registrants ensure confidential information and data is managed securely, lawfully, and fairly.
You can read the full suite on our good practice guides page. Make sure to share it with registrants working in your location.
Blog: Reflecting on our journey, impact, and future
At the end of our tenth year as the EWC, we took the opportunity to reflect on how we’ve evolved, the impact we’ve made, and how we will continue to serve learners and young people, the public, and the education workforce in the years ahead.
Council updates
Our vision for the future
On 1 April, we published our Strategic Plan 2026-29 and refreshed Strategic Equality Plan 2024-28. They set out our key priorities and commitments for the years ahead.
Guidance, resources, and professional services
Use the PLP for performance management
We have been working with educational organisations to create bespoke templates in the Professional Learning Passport (PLP) that can be used as a tool in the performance management process. If you’re interested, read more information about using the PLP and how you could get it set up for your organisation in time for September.

Our response to Welsh Government consultations
We have published our response to the Welsh Government consultation on proposals to formalise the provision of six INSET days per year for schools in Wales and our response to Welsh Government’s paper on the future of tertiary education in Wales.
In case you missed it
Let us come to you
As well as the series of events available on our YouTube channel, we can also come to you and do a presentation on a range of subjects, from the Code of Professional Conduct and Practice, to the PLP. We can even tailor it for your specific needs. Fill out the form on this page, and we’ll get back to you to organise a date and time.
