Assessors must be given the ongoing support and time necessary for them to develop and perform their role, and to train as needed. This support can take a number of forms but must allow for our standards to be met and for assessors to prepare for and contribute to student assessment.
Where possible, it should be tailored to the assessor’s needs and requirements. It should include any reasonable adjustments or equality and diversity considerations that may need to be met.
