1.14The principles of good regulation will underpin our approach to the regulation of qualifications and assessments. We will strive to regulate in a way that is proportionate, consistent, transparent, targeted and accountable and we invite those who respond to the consultation to evaluate our proposals against these characteristics.
1.15We will work cooperatively with the qualifications regulators in Northern Ireland (for school qualifications), Wales and Scotland whenever it is appropriate to do so. We currently work particularly closely with the regulators in Northern Ireland and Wales. They are in broad agreement with the proposed direction for future regulation set out in the document. The interests of learners and our duty to minimise the burden of regulation will underpin our efforts to work in this way. Similarly, we will work with other public bodies, where possible, to reduce or streamline our regulatory interventions and minimise bureaucracy.
