Ofqual's statement on alleged malpractice at training centres.
Awarding organisations must investigate allegations of malpractice quickly and thoroughly. We may also investigate and take action where we have concerns. We investigated the Awarding Body for Vocational Achievement (AVA) Ltd, featured in the programme, earlier this summer and raised specific concerns about its relationship with Grafton College. The investigation is ongoing. We have requested any additional evidence from the BBC and would welcome any further information that may be provided in relation to the specific Panorama allegations.
