The business of the Assessment Board is confidential to the membership of that Board except where disclosure is required by regulators or by law. The following are general principles of confidentiality:
Access to students’ marks before and after Assessment Board meetings should be restricted to members of staff who require access in their work capacity.
Staff are not permitted to inform students of their classification/Award outcome before results are published. This does not preclude providing feedback to students, based on the marking criteria for the assessed work.
The recommendations, discussions and decisions of Assessment Boards are strictly confidential.
