It is the responsibility of a senior leader/line manager to have oversight of examinations/assessments within their centre. This will ensure that their centre is JCQ-compliant and that the integrity and security of examination system is maintained at all times
The Exams Office has produced a Checklist for senior leaders/line managers which is available within the Key Documents area of The Exams Office Hub.
This checklist has been designed to support senior leaders/line managers in confirming that key tasks are completed to deadline, that the centre is fully prepared for each exam series, and that the centre is complying with JCQ regulations.
The Checklist for senior leaders/line managers contains four sections:
- Role and responsibilities
- JCQ documentation
- Compliance
- Monthly meeting agendas
This checklist supports senior leaders in ensuring that they are meeting JCQ requirements as set out in the General Regulations for Approved Centres document (section 5.3).
Please note that senior leadership teams and the exams officers should familiarise themselves with the entire contents of the General Regulations for Approved Centres document and any other relevant JCQ documents/regulations.
Senior leaders/line managers should add centre-specific questions/areas which are not included within the checklist. These areas should also be confirmed with your exams officer during meetings.
