Teaching Regulation Agency (TRA)

Teaching Regulation Agency is a Executive Agency sponsored by Department for Education. The Agency, on behalf of the Secretary of State, regulates the teaching profession by taking action on receipt of allegations of serious teacher misconduct in England. We maintain the central record of qualified teachers which provides employers with the means to complete pre-employment checks to ensure that they are employing teachers who are not prohibited from teaching and who are appropriately qualified for their role. We are also responsible for the professional recognition of teachers who have qualified outside of England.

Regional Remit

TRA operates in England. Their headquarters are located in West Midlands.
