All written responses will be run through an AI Detector as part of our short-listing process.
The Department of Education (DfE) outlines clear compliance criteria to which all accredited ITT Providers must adhere. In the criteria, there is a section that focusses on ‘Intellectual and academic capabilities’ which states that all candidates need to demonstrate their competence regarding their ‘fundamental proficiency in English’. ITT statutory guidance 2024 to 2025 September 2024 update (publishing.service.gov.uk)
As part of our proficiency checks, Prospere Learning Trust and Bright Futures SCITT assess a candidate’s proficiency in written English through the submission of a personal statement at application (via DfE Apply), and a written task which takes place after the interview.
Please note that pre-interview, all personal statements will be run through an AI Detector, therefore we strongly encourage all candidates to write using their own words.
We reserve the right to not progress with an application if the use of AI is detected.
At interview, if the use of AI is detected in the written task, the submission will be discounted, and candidates will be offered a final opportunity to submit one further piece written in their own words. These checks are critical so that ITT Providers have evidence that all candidates have a high level of literacy skills.
