The service is responsible for recording and submitting moderation decisions through the appropriate national systems, ensuring that teacher assessments are robust, consistent and reliable.
The service plays a critical role in maintaining the integrity and consistency of statutory assessments across Birmingham and ensures that the Council meets its legal obligations as a Local Authority in relation to assessment, moderation and quality assurance.
