PLQ(SS) Validation Panel

The SQA Validation Panel for the PLQ(SS) and PLQ Stage 3 took place on 30 March. Some amendments to the documentation were requested by the Panel which are now being addressed by the Qualifications Design Team in consultation with SSSC and it is expected that these will be finalised by the end of June 2007. A number of dates for SSSC approval events have been arranged from June onwards. The first programme will be run by Learning Network West, where a pilot Stage 3 programme is currently being developed. Minutes of the SQA Qualification Design Team for the PLQ(SS) are available on the SQA website.

Inventory of materials for PLQ(SS)

An inventory of currently available materials has been compiled by Consultant Jean Gordon as part of the development of the PLQ(SS). The inventory has enabled gaps to be identified which will form the basis for commissioning new materials. In due course the inventory will be updated as new materials are developed and placed on the Learning Exchange, together with the opportunity for comment and review from those using the materials. Meanwhile the inventory is being made accessible on the website together with the accompanying notes on use of the Excel, spreadsheet.
