In2Assessments and Ofqual

​

Responsible Officer

1. The person responsible for maintaining the quality of all regulated functions is Barry Kaufman-Hill. He will act as responsible officer in keeping with the requirements of (Condition B1.1).

The level of risk is low due to the knowledge and experience of Alex Williamson to delegate this role and works in favour in reducing the level of risk against the identified conflicts of interest within other sectors of the parent organisation.
