[SSC] An interesting suggestion...

[Richard Keeble]

Another email following yesterday's publicity - and my response.
 
Dear Ian,
Many thanks for this suggestion. We'll discuss at our next planning meeting - and get back to you.
In the meantime you might like to visit our website (http://socialsciencecentre.org.uk/ <https://email.lincoln.ac.uk/exchweb/bin/redir.asp?URL=http://socialsciencecentre.org.uk/> ) where you can see reports of all our meetings - and plans for the future.
With best wishes,
Richard

Hi, 

Saw your proposals in the BBC article. Had you thought of accrediting students through the Qualifications and Credit Framework? This can provide nationally accredited qualifications at degree and post graduate level and it is referenced to the European Qualifications Framework. I run an Ofqual Accredited Awarding Body. It is not difficult or expensive to do this if you are providing your own assessment models.
