Overview

This consultation sets out our proposals to complete the work we began in 2019 to update our policy ‘Taking Regulatory Action’. Completion of that work was delayed as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

This consultation includes a draft of the revised policy which should be read alongside this document. The changes in the revised policy reflect the decisions we made after the 2019 consultation, which we published in May 2021, as well as some additional proposals. This document summarises the changes and explains those which are new or different.

Why your views matter

The way we approach enforcement is of interest to many stakeholders and it is important that any changes that are made have the benefit of this wider input.

This consultation is open to anyone who may wish to make representations but may be of most interest to:

• awarding organisations
• schools, colleges and others who deliver or take qualifications
