Introduction  \n1.1 Our consultation on the Conditions, requirements and guidance for awarding organisation controls of Centre 1 assessments took place between 19 September and 14 November 2019. A copy of the consultation and our analysis of responses is available on our website2. This followed our previous consultation on our policy approach which is also available on our website3.  \n1.2 This document sets out the decisions we have taken on our Conditions, requirements and guidance following the consultation. We are publishing these decisions alongside an updated version of the Ofqual handbook4 , incorporating these changes to our Conditions, requirements and guidance.  \n1.3 These new Conditions, requirements and guidance come into force from 00:01 on 13 February 2020. Following publication, we expect awarding organisations to be fully compliant by 1 September 2021. We will take a proportionate approach to enforcement against these Conditions until this date. This means that while we acknowledge it may take some time for awarding organisations to become fully compliant, we would expect to see progress towards compliance between now and September 2021. In the event of an incident occurring before September 2021 that calls into question the controls between an awarding organisation and its centres, progress towards full compliance with these Conditions, requirements and guidance will be one factor that we take into account when determining what action to take.  \n1.4 These changes apply to qualifications regulated by Ofqual. We have discussed our decisions with the qualifications regulators in Wales (Qualifications Wales) and Northern Ireland (CCEA Regulation) . Throughout the consultation process, we have worked with both regulators to ensure that our approaches are as aligned as possible. The changes being made across the three countries are broadly similar, however slight differences in how we approach our respective legislative frameworks means the way we implement them differs slightly in places. For example, Qualifications Wales would normally include requirements that are specific to a particular qualification or description of qualification in its qualification-specific Criteria and Conditions; CCEA Regulation will incorporate changes to Conditions and the new requirements,","cbCaifdQP2OreKA8","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaifdQP2OreKA8","pdf",428894,26,"English","# Introduction\n## Consultation scope and timeline\n# Summary of decisions\n## Required CASS and moderation arrangements\n# Decisions\n## Centre Assessment Standards Scrutiny and Moderation\n## Qualifications subject to Moderation\n## Minimum CASS requirements\n## CASS strategies\n## Results & certificates\n## Terminology and other changes\n# Equalities impact assessment\n# Regulatory impact assessment\n# Next steps","[{\"question\":\"What does the document set out after the consultation?\",\"answer\":\"It sets out the decisions taken on Conditions, requirements, and guidance for awarding-organisation controls of centre assessments, published alongside an updated Ofqual handbook.\"},{\"question\":\"When do the new Conditions, requirements and guidance come into force?\",\"answer\":\"They come into force from 00:01 on 13 February 2020, with full compliance expected by 1 September 2021.\"},{\"question\":\"How are moderation and CASS related in the decisions?\",\"answer\":\"Moderation is treated as a distinct form of CASS that must take place for all cohorts before results are issued, enabling adjustments before results are released.\"}]","CONSULTATION DECISIONS - Decisions on Conditions, requirements and guidance | PDF",1792462742,66]
