Hi,
We should probably be asking SFE for there answer but as I've read and discussed this issue I'd say that the 2 quotes have to be from separate agencies (or from an individual provided that that individual is a freelance support worker - so you could have 2 quotes from 2 different BSL interpreters but not from 2 PG students who would be employed via the University). If the quote from the agency was selected then the external agency would mange the payments. As a student you would presumably provide the agency with your timetable and they would arrange the support worker.
However, if you have already started your degree then your system remains unchanged: the "2 quotes" is for new assessments only and is not retrospective.

Most of the universities I researched employed postgraduates on a casual basis as non-medical helpers and all were paid the same depending on the job (e.g. trained notetakers were paid differently to say, library helpers). Does this mean they will also need to obtain a comparable quote from an agency or from different pg students? If so, will potential payments to agency workers still be managed by the university or will students need to arrange this themselves? I'm in the process of arranging my new DSA for next year and am trying to get my head around this!
