Once the agenda has been agreed, you can discuss the running order of the visit ensuring staff understand that timing for your verification activities must remain flexible. At this stage you should also ensure that staff have a clear understanding of the potential outcomes of the visit and how they will be conveyed ie you will provide feedback at the — end of your visit, and the outcome and verification report will be issued electronically to the centre thereafter. Stage 2: Verifying the evidence Each sample should be accompanied by the centre’s completed copy of the Verification Sample Form, which will indicate the centre’s assessment judgement/mark awarded at the time of verification for each of the candidates in the sample. (Note: in some visiting subjects, where live candidate performances form part of the verification evidence, centre assessment will take place at the same time as the verification activity. In these cases, centre staff should complete the Verification Sample Form with their assessment judgement during, rather than in advance of, the visit.) For each level you will need to check that you have: details of the selected verification activity (eg unit or IACCA) outcomes, assessment standards, and the approach to assessment (eg UASP, produced assessment portfolio, naturally-occurring evidence) for each candidate the candidate/assessment evidence information about how the evidence was judged evidence of the internal quality assurance processes In the event that the centre has the wrong materials (eg evidence against the wrong unit or evidence for course assessment or has not provided evidence at the correct level), or you feel that you cannot proceed with verification: you should contact the NQ Verification Team immediately. Review and make a decision about the approach and judgements presented for each level. Verification has the following outcomes, which are applied to each level in the sample: indicates that: ‘Accepted’ the approaches to assessment for all candidates at that level are valid the assessment judgements for all candidates at that level are reliable, consistent, and in line with the assessment standards If is an issue at one of the levels, your verification decision for that level must be or accepted’. ‘accepted*’ ‘not
