We might consider giving an awarding organisation a direction to take specified steps to do something or to refrain from doing something in a wide range of scenarios. These scenarios might include, but not be limited to, directions to:

• secure the consistency of the standards of its qualifications in line with those of other awarding organisations awarding a comparable qualification,
• withdraw approval from a centre that has been acting fraudulently,
• withhold or withdraw certificates from learners who have been guilty of misconduct in an assessment,
• take steps to address behaviour that has been found to discriminate against particular learners,
• require an awarding organisation to provide us with relevant information where it has not met a request to do so,
• make changes to its governance arrangements to bring them into line with the general conditions of recognition, and/or
• mitigate the adverse effect on public confidence of an incident relating to qualifications.
