New Ofqual handbook has all rules and advice in one place

Ofqual has launched an online handbook, bringing together all its general rules and guidance in one place.
It sets out Ofqual’s general conditions of recognition (and associated requirements) and the rules it has set for all the qualifications and organisations it regulates, as well as how to comply.
The handbook is kept user-friendly to enable organisations to use the document to inform their work and ensure that they are meeting all of the rules that apply to them.
Ofqual has said it has made sure its key stakeholders and awarding organisations have been fully informed of the changes.
Education Support, the charity dedicated to the mental health and wellbeing of teachers and education staff, has released its ninth Teacher Wellbeing Index.
Nearly two thirds of Initial Teacher Training providers believe that teachers are not currently prepared to meet the government’s ambition to raise the complexity threshold for SEND pupils entering mainstream schools.
England’s councils are warning of a "ticking time bomb" in the special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) system, with new data showing deficits that could bankrupt local authorities within three years.
The regulations have been set following a second consultation and detailed collaborative working with organisations and people across deaf and hearing communities.
