Conclusion (the committee's words)
The Committee recognises Sir Ian’s commitment to delivering the core tasks of Ofqual, namely maintaining standards and confidence in qualifications. Sir Ian’s ambition to enhance Ofqual’s reputation further to be “ever more trusted by the public and by students as the guardian of safe, fair and trustworthy qualifications” is welcome.15 Sir Ian noted the turnover in Chief Regulators in recent years, and we hope that he fulfils his commitment to serve a full term in office and restore much-needed stability to the organisation.16
