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.
