To support ITT providers, NASBTT with UCET’s support, developed Occupational Health Guidance for Providers. This guidance arose from a significant body of work and research which revealed a lack of clarity around the expectations of a trainee’s role resulting in inconsistency in the criteria on which assessments of health and physical capacity to teach were being made. It was clear that a consistent application of a number of key principles would reduce the apprehension felt by ITT providers in making decisions that have the potential to be called into question.
NASBTT has worked with Corazon Health to offer a process specifically designed to determine the adjustment(s) a trainee might need in order to fulfil the typical demands of the teaching role they are to undertake. The use of a single Occupational Health provider offers consistency of assessment, which is important in preventing contradictory judgements, across different ITT providers, but also means that economies of scale have enabled us to negotiate a heavily discounted rate for Members.
