Statement of Principles and Practice Governing Registration relating to Service Provision on a Temporary and Occasional Basis

The Statement of Principles and Practice Governing Registration relating to Service Provision on a Temporary and Occasional Basis (pdf) provides information on:

  • the process of registration to work as a teacher in Scotland on a temporary and occasional basis under the EU Directive on the Recognition of Professional Qualifications
  • entitlement to registration
  • registration fee
  • length and number of periods of registration
  • criteria for registration, including qualifications and English language proficiency
  • the procedures involved when coming to a decision about registration relating to service provision on a temporary and occasional basis

It is expected that this document will be useful for the following audiences:

  • teachers trained outside Scotland wishing to work in Scotland on a temporary and occasional basis
  • teachers qualified in Scotland wishing to work in an EU Member State outwith the UK on a temporary and occasional basis
  • schools and professional associations
  • Scottish Government Teachers Division
  • HMIE Inspectors of Schools
  • employing authorities
  • those members of other professions, and the public more generally, who have an interest in the professional registration of teachers
