See extract from DSA QAG website :
"Centre Managers and DSA Assessors should note that the revised guidelines
have been approved by the Department for Innovation, Universities and Skills
(DIUS).
Assessors are requested to commence using the new Needs Assessment Report as
soon as possible.
A follow up consultation with SLC and Users of the new report format will
commence at the start of 2009."
Amanda you need to feed through to your centre manager who will have the
dates for regionals or your assessors' rep on DSA -QAG.The OU centre
manager is also the SE NNAC rep so will represent their concerns.

Subject: Re: new template was SLC Three quotes
Ian or Emma,
Two points:
1. I am right in interpreting below as meaning 'the template on the DSAQAG
site has been approved by DIUS for trial'?
2. What is the time-table for the NNAC regional meetings- individual centres
will presumably ask assessors for some information to be collated and then
sent to these meetings? Some sense of timing would be helpful (incluidng
those like the OU who clearly have some additions or alternatives to
propose,
Thanks,
Amanda
