I'm sure you're all currently poring over the Hopkin Review. What do
people think about this section?
"8. We also received submissions welcoming the improvements that they
felt the centralised system offered including greater choice for
students and the increased attention given to value for money
considerations. One assessor has stated that it has created a solid
framework for quality assurance by standardising the format of the DSA
Assessment of Needs Report and by defining quality in the context of
students with disabilities as ‘ability being used to its utmost’ and
‘creating a market whereby students, acting as customers, can use public
funds in a manner which empowers them and affords the tax-payer value
for money.’ CLASS, Central London Assessment Services, believe that
there has been a beneficial impact on the quality and cost-effectiveness
of services, even if there have been concerns about processing."
