Cover Launch ID Cards

We are pleased to announce the launch of our Teacher I.D. cards. Both primary and secondary teachers have been issued with the Cover photocards. The cards detail information confirming that background and identity checks have been completed, that the teacher holds qualified teacher status and is registered with the GTC.

The card provides our schools with the security of knowing they can quickly and easily verify the identity of a teacher who is on their premises, and provides our teachers with the convenience of being able to identify themselves instantly.
