Executive Director Emma Hollis is a respected voice on ITT at national and regional levels.  Emma attends ministerial briefings and regular meetings with DfE representatives and other key stakeholders. She actively supports groups such as the All Party Parliamentary Group for the Teaching Profession and the Initial Teacher Training Advisory Group; this has resulted in direct input to, and influence on, government policy.  In addition, Emma, the NASBTT team and our Trustees feature in education sector media and regularly contribute at national education events, conferences and workshops.

Our regular surveys give our Members the opportunity to share their views and insights on policy developments and the latest on-the-ground issues, challenges and opportunities facing the ITT sector.  As part of our ‘Member Voice’ series, Members and their trainees have the opportunity to contribute their insights and learnings.  Case studies and ‘Provider Perspectives’ highlighting individual view points and approaches are a regular feature at NASBTT events, where we also encourage and facilitate networking, collaboration and sharing of best practice across the sector.

In addition to representation, NASBTT provides Members with access to an extensive range of resources, publications and services to support the management and delivery of initial teacher training. Members can access personalised support, advice and guidance, events, training and tailored CPD.
