Exams officers
Ofqual has created a film about the role of the exams officer. The film aims to raise awareness of the important work Exams Officers do among other school staff and parents. To accompany the video, Ofqual has also written to assistant heads and exams officers and also published a blog.
Current consultation
Ofqual is currently consulting on proposed changes to the way awarding organisations manage and oversee centre assessments. These changes are intended to ensure that appropriate controls are in place so that standards are consistent, whenever and wherever an assessment is taken. This consultation is open until 20 May 2019.
