Qualifications
Unsupported evaluation can only
be carried out by properly trained and skilled tutors. All tutors must have
extensive experience in the qualification area.
All internal quality assurance must be conducted by properly trained personnel.
Take a sample the sampling strategy developed and maintained by the Clinical
Director must be followed by all IQAs.
Sampling must be across all tutors, all types of evidence, and all students,
including plans, reviews, and records in addition to student evidence. The
frequency of assessments will be calculated after an assessor’s risk assessment
based on expertise and competence, but to satisfy the criteria of the
accrediting university, other awarding bodies, and other awarding bodies, the
frequency of assessments will be determined. All portfolios will be quality
assured by the IQA, who will sample at least one piece of evidence for each
aspect of the qualification at a minimum. IQA must be done on a regular basis
during the year.
(E) Observations
Every tutor will be observed by their assigned IQA at least once a year.

IQA feedback on trainer delivery must be sent to the relevant trainer as soon
as possible, ideally by the end of the working day. All subsequent acts should
be decided upon, and the Observation of Tutor Practice form should be revised
and signed by both the IQA and the tutor to ensure the accuracy of the details
found therein. The original form should be filed in the tutor’s personnel file,
while a copy should be submitted to the Director.
(F) Student Interviews
The IQA will interview at least one student for each of their designated tutors once a year. On the Learner Interview Record, there are set interview questions that should all be asked, but not all of them are relevant. These interviews can be conducted in person or by email. Once the record is full, send a copy to the Clinical Director and keep the original in the tutor’s personnel file.

Every tutor has the right to appeal an IQA decision affecting their assessment. Within 5 working days of being told that the portfolio is ready for selection following an IQA, the assessor should indicate their disagreement on the appropriate IQA form and bring it to the attention of the IQA. If a challenge is presented, the assessor and IQA must first meet and address the issue informally; if an agreement can be reached, it should be noted on the IQA form, and no further action is taken. If an agreement cannot be reached, then this goes to:
1. Stage One Appeal
