The Department for Education’s Database of Qualified Teachers

As a user of MPO we wanted to make you aware that your personal data will also be processed on the Database of Qualified Teachers (DQT). The DQT is managed by the Teaching Regulation Agency (TRA), an executive agency of the Department for Education.

The DQT contains the record of those who are training to teach, qualified to teach, or who have previously taught in England and Wales.

The Department for Education wishes to communicate openly with data subjects on the DQT to help you understand how your data is processed. If you’d like to know more about the data process on the DQT, including details on your data protection rights, then please visit the privacy notice for the Teacher Self-Service application (available here (This link opens in a new window)).
