Centre Declarations of Interest
JCQ General Regulations for Approved Centres (section 5.3) states that centres must manage conflict of interests by:
Informing the awarding bodies, before the published deadline for entries, of:
- any members of centre staff who are taking qualifications at their own centre which include internally assessed components/units
- any members of centre staff who are teaching and preparing members of their family (which includes step-family, foster family and similar close relationships) or close friends and their immediate family (e.g. son/daughter) for qualifications which include internally assessed components/units.
If you have any queries regarding the Declarations of Interest process please contact us at: conflictofinterest@pearson.com
Awarding bodies must be informed where members of the family (which includes step-family, foster-family and similar close relationships) or household of exams office staff are being entered for examinations and assessments; whether by the centre itself or a different centre.
