We protect learners, staff and visitors from harm, abuse, exploitation and radicalisation. Concerns are reported promptly to the designated safeguarding lead.
Assessment standards stay consistent while reasonable adjustments and learner support remove avoidable disadvantage. Tell your assessor or support team early.
Assessment decisions and evidence are sampled to protect consistency, authenticity and national standards. Sampling levels can vary and are about quality, not the learner.
Email support@ok4uk.academy. We aim to acknowledge complaints within 3 working days, investigate usually within 10 working days, provide a written outcome and offer senior review.
First discuss the decision with your assessor. You may then submit a written appeal for independent internal review and, where applicable, follow the awarding organisation’s external process.
Discrimination, bullying and harassment are not accepted. Learners have equal access to support and assessment, with reasonable adjustments where appropriate.
Candidate information is used for registration, assessment, support, quality assurance and certification, and shared only where there is a lawful and necessary reason.
Candidates receive clear requirements, feedback and professional support. Evidence may include observations, discussions, questions, documents, images and witness statements.
AI may support learning and understanding, but must not create or falsify assessment evidence. Submitted evidence must remain authentic and based on the candidate’s own work.
Contact support@ok4uk.academy. Assessment disagreements should use the appeals route; urgent safeguarding concerns should be raised immediately.
