Having considered the evidence and the potential impact on individual students, I am informing members that I have reached the following conclusions:the awards were made by SFW and the OU in Wales in good faith and have arisen solely due to a genuine misinterpretation of the regulations;I do not think that it would be fair to allow any of the students to suffer financial loss or hardship as a result of removing access to the support that they have been awarded to date; and,that students who started their courses prior to 2018 should continue to receive GFDs until they finish their studies or withdraw from their course (as long as they continue to meet all other eligibility criteria).
