Aim:
- To ensure that assessment methodology is valid, reliable and does not disadvantage or advantage any group of learners or individuals
- To ensure that the assessment procedure is open, fair and free from bias and adheres to national standards
- To ensure that there is accurate and detailed recording of assessment decisions
In order to do this, Brighton Holistics will:
- Ensure that learners are provided with assignments that are fit for purpose, to enable them to produce appropriate evidence for assessment
- Assess learner’s evidence using only the published assessment and grading criteria
- Ensure that assessment decisions are impartial, valid and reliable
- Not limit or ‘cap’ learner achievement if work is submitted late
- Develop assessment procedures that will minimise the opportunity for malpractice
- Maintain accurate and detailed records of assessment decisions
- Maintain a robust and rigorous internal verification procedure
- Provide samples for Standards Verification as required by the accrediting body
- Monitor standards verification reports and undertakes any remedial action required
- Share good assessment practice between all awarding/accrediting body programme teams
- Ensure that awarding/accrediting body assessment methodology and the role of the assessor are understood by the whole team
- Provide resources to ensure that assessment can be performed accurately and appropriately.
This policy will be reviewed every 12 months by the Brighton Holistics Team
