SQA feedback on Appeals from parents/ carers of S5 & S6 pupils

SQA is currently carrying out a large-scale evaluation of the 2022 approach to National Qualifications assessment. Part of this includes gathering views from parents and carers on the Appeals 2022 service. They have a panel of parents and carers who take part in occasional surveys for SQA. If you would like to take part, please sign up using this link www.sqa.org.uk/sqa/96570.html.
