What is CASS?
CASS is a regulatory requirement that came into force in September 2021. It requires each awarding organisation (AO) to have a strategy in place to ensure that centre assessed standards in every qualification are scrutinised by the AO to ensure the validity and reliability of results.
An AO’s CASS strategy must comply with minimum requirements as detailed in Section H2 of Ofqual’s General Conditions of Recognition.
The 王中王资料大全 CASS Strategy covers all the checks we make to ensure the validity and reliability of the results issued through our moderation processes. As a minimum, our checks include:
- Sampling a range of centre marking based on risk for each series
- Review of IQA records
- Adjustment of marks by the awarding organisation to meet the standard
- Feedback on assessment judgement regardless of outcome
These minimum requirements are reflected in the processes already in place at 王中王资料大全 and are encompassed in our Quality Assurance documentation which is regularly updated to reflect any regulatory change.
If you have any queries regarding the implementation of CASS please contact technicals.quality@cityandguilds.com.
