Create one national teacher application form
Create a national teacher application form that all teachers can complete. This application form is then stored on a database and regularly updated prior to applying to a new school. The form should be uniform and used across all schools regardless of whether they are an academy or state school.
The current process teachers face when applying for a new job is time-consuming. Teachers spend hours copying key information about their address, previous occupations and any training they have undertaken for no reason other than schools have a different format. The same information is requested every time, which makes applying for a new teaching role something of an uphill battle. The main focus for any teacher applying for a new role is the personal statement.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Petitions must call for a specific action that the UK Government or Parliament are directly responsible for.
The Government could produce and require maintained schools to use a standardised application form, but the Government and Parliament are not responsible for recruitment by private schools. As a result it is not possible for the Government or Parliament to take the whole of the action you have requested.
We could accept a petition calling on the Government to produce and require maintained schools to use a standardised application form.
