Updates to Malpractice Policy
We recently launched a new Malpractice policy which applies to qualifications regulated by Ofqual in England and Qualifications Wales in Wales.
As a result, we have also made some minor updates to the Malpractice policy which applies to all other SQA qualifications.
The main changes to ‘Malpractice: Information for Centres’ are:
- Removal of references to qualifications regulated by Ofqual and Qualifications Wales, as these are now set out in a separate policy
- Clarification that people taking part in an investigation meeting should be asked if they need any adjustments to enable them to fully participate
- SQA’s Standards for Devolved Investigations is now a standalone document
We have contacted centres who offer qualifications regulated by Ofqual or Qualifications Wales to highlight the new policy relating to these qualifications, and actions they need to take.
Both policies are available on the Malpractice page of our website.
If you have any queries, please contact your Regional Manager or email mycentre@sqa.org.uk.
