Well if I wanted to be pedantic about the wording I could argue that 'may be present at the start of the examination(s)' could enable me to have teaching staff there up until the moment I say to the students 'you may start'. As someone else has said, these minor adjustments to the regs have a bigger impact in colleges than perhaps in schools. We have only 1 Assistant Principal and I'm not sure how he is meant to be able to assist in the identification of 1800 students, albeit that they don't sit their exams at the same time, or do any of the other things listed. I only ask teaching staff to take registers, my invigilators do everything else. I'm going to stick to my professional judgement that we run our exams in a secure a way as possible and wait to be challenged on that by an inspector. :) Sarah Cassel-Gerard Examinations Officer Esher College Centre 64785 020 8398 0291 x2531 (t) From: The FE Exams Network mailing list [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Paul King Sent: 25 October 2017 12:30 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: The People Present in the Examination Room Sarah, Does this not still constitute being in the exam room - even if the exam papers have not been opened?

We use cards on the desks with photos, student no & name, and exam being taken (including relevant AAs) to identify our students. As such we don't really use teaching staff to do identity checks. We use subject HoDs and subject teaching staff to go up & down the rows taking the attendance registers whilst I am making the announcements, but with large numbers of students, the staff taking the register will not necessarily have taught those students so couldn't identify them anyway. Once registers have been taken they tell me how many are missing and the HoD goes and rings them to get them in, keeping me informed. I can honestly say we fulfil the 'under no circumstances' criteria so am happy that we are JCQ compliant.

This year they've added 'and who have not had overall responsibility for the candidates preparation for the examination(s)'. Do we assume that rules out Heads of Department from assisting with the identification of students etc.?
