DfE needs to validate the teacher's identity and qualification before approving the claim.
GOVUK Verify is being depreciated ((ADR No. 0008)[https://github.com/DFE-Digital/claim-additional-payments-for-teaching/blob/master/docs/architecture-decisions/0008-use-govuk-verify-for-claiment-identity-assurance.md]) and is being replaced with integration DqT to validate teacher's identity.
The service will replace GOV verify with Database for Qualified Teachers (DQT) for teacher's identity and QTS check before approving the claims.
DQT will provide a DQT dataset according to the policy on a daily basis and the service will validate the teacher's identity and QTS against the DQT via API.
The claim service team will be responsible to manage the temporary DQT API and data until actual DQT API ready to server all requests.
This DQT integration automation will also replace the manually verify claims through DQT CSV report.
The claim service team needs to ensure that DQT dataset is protected and only accessible via protected API.
The team must replace the temporary DQT API whenever actual DQT API will be ready to serve requests and the claim team must delete the DQT dataset and destroy temporary DQT API.
The service operator will manually validate the teacher's identity and QTS checks if the DQT automation process fails.
