Ofqual stops awarding body from taking on new learners over security qualifications failures

Ofqual, the Office of Qualifications and Examinations Regulation, is responsible for ensuring that qualifications in England are of a high standard and meet certain criteria. Awarding bodies, which are organisations that develop and award qualifications, must meet Ofqual's regulatory requirements in order to operate. The decision to stop an awarding body from taking on new learners is a significant regulatory action, indicating that the body has failed to meet these requirements in a significant way.
