Summary of Research into Access Arrangements System in Wales
The first phase of work aimed to develop our understanding of how the access arrangement system is designed across multiple awarding bodies (including those not part of JCQ) and how it functions in practice across different centre types.
The findings suggest that awarding bodies are broadly aligned in terms of the design of the access arrangements system; both JCQ and non JCQ awarding bodies highlighted similar purposes and principles underpinning the system. However, there are differences in the systems and processes in place. Although there are challenges to implementing access arrangements at the centre level, the system broadly functions as expected.
