Applies to England

Detail of outcome
We have decided to confirm all our consultation proposals.
We have chosen not to adopt any of the suggested changes to our guidance, mainly because we think they would conflict with the new subject content for AS and A level politics.

There were seven responses to the consultation – five from organisations and two from individuals.
One organisation did not comment directly on our proposals, but instead provided general comments on the process for reform of GCSEs, AS and A levels.
