Assessment requirements unaffected by industrial action

22 March 2018

In light of the recent industrial action within the higher education sector, and enquiries from some universities about any impact this may have had upon preparing students for the QLD, GDL or LPC, the SRA has confirmed that institutions have an obligation to ensure all teaching and assessment requirements are met.

These qualifications are intended to protect the public and give them confidence that all those qualifying have acquired the necessary knowledge and skills needed to practise safely. It would be inappropriate for us to consider any reduction in these requirements, whether on a case-by-case or universal basis.
