Hi Sally
No staff is allowed in the exam rooms. Every aspect is dealt with by the exams team and the invigilators. Staff necessary to check notes, books, etc are only allowed in for the time it takes to check that. Any staff taking a peek at an exam paper is required to stay until an hour after the official start time. If disciplinary matters arise, the senior staff will be called for.
Kind regards
Marjanne

Hi everyone
How are other colleges managing the people present in the exam room guidelines from JCQ?
We are trying to agree a process where everyone knows what they can and can't do any help would be appreciated
10. The people present
10.1 The head of centre has a duty at all times to maintain the integrity of the examination.
10.2 Invigilators must carry out their duties as defined in section 6, page 16.
10.3 Members of centre staff approved by the head of centre to be present at the start of the examinations may:
* identify and settle candidates and instil discipline;
* check that the candidates have been issued with the correct question papers for their subject/unit and level or tier of entry;
* check that the candidates have the necessary equipment and materials, i.e. calculators, preliminary material, anthologies or set texts where permitted;
* using information provided by the exams officer or subject teacher, identify whether the candidates have been prepared for the set texts highlighted on the question paper.
Only those members of staff authorised by the head of centre and agreed with the exams officer should be present in the examination room. Only candidates actually sitting the examination/assessment must be present in the examination room while an examination is taking place.
10.4 The JCQ has written a Notice to Centres - The people present in the examination room (see Appendix 8, page 55). It provides further guidance and clarity on the role of centre staff in the examination room, other than exam officers and invigilators. This Notice must be brought to the attention of all members of centre staff so that they are clear about their role in the examination room. Advice: Exam officers may wish to photocopy and enlarge this Notice and place it on the staff room notice board so that all centre staff understand their role in the examination room.
Thanks
Sally
