Apprenticeships, Skills, Children and Learning Bill

I have tabled Amendment 262 in this group, which asks that: ""Ofqual shall publish on the internet a summary of all judgements and determinations that it makes, and of the reasons for them"." It is very important that Ofqual should seek to establish in public a detailed series of precedents and explanations of the way that it is working: first, because it should be transparent; secondly, because such transparency is vital in creating public confidence in the body; and, thirdly, because only by seeing exactly how Ofqual is reaching its decisions and on what basis it is seeking to judge qualifications will the awarding bodies have the confidence that they need to be able to innovate and bring forward new and interesting variations on their existing qualifications.
