In early 2026, the D&T Association will transition to a new website and associated IT systems as part of its ongoing improvements. This will affect the Self-Review Framework and D&T Mark. The new system will have revised statements to work towards, will be renamed the ‘D&T Quality Mark’ and will not be able to transfer any evidence from the current one automatically.
As such, we will not be processing any additional applications using the current system. If you intend to apply for the ‘D&T Mark’, we would advise you to wait until the new system is in place in the first quarter of 2026. If you have begun to collate evidence, we advise you to keep copies to then apply on the new system (with different statements) after this time.
The Self-Review Framework is designed to help you determine the quality and effectiveness of all aspects of Design and Technology provision in your school.
The Framework is a membership benefit and is free for all members (a primary version is available via https://primarysrf.designtechnology.org.uk).
The D&T Mark is a new quality mark which schools who meet all the criteria in the Self-Review Framework can apply for.
To find out more about the Self-Review Framework and D&T Mark please go to the ‘About’ page.
