[QUOTE="Jessica Booker, post: 33786, member: 2672"] The thing about the SQE was it was not really about diversity, it was mainly about ensuring there was one qualification system. Apprenticeships had been launched with the first qualification date of 2020/1, there was the QLTS and the equivalent means qualification process that all had inconsistencies, and then obviously the traditional training contract. They had to bring together a process that would allow the end assessment point to bring qualification parity (even if employers didn't see it that way). Whilst transitioning to one consistent method, they had invested a lot of time into thinking about diversity - but to be frank this has been lost in the realities of how it is being delivered as things have developed/changed. The SRA failed to listen to a lot of people about their concerns (academics, employers, trainers, students), and hung on to very specific things stubbornly, and also got influenced too heavily on others. The new system is really open to abuse given the lack of employer regulation and also the fact now that work experience can be unpaid. That's my biggest bug bear of the new system. Technically someone could now do an unpaid training contract for 2 years. At least in the past they would have been subject to minimum wage at least... [/QUOTE]
