The internal ASYE panel, a joint panel between adult and family operations ensures consistency across both services. It provides a robust quality assurance process in assessing the evidence presented by NQSWs at the end of their ASYE and the ASYE assessor's recommendation. If the panel is unsure of the decision to pass or fail, this is passed to the ESCA board for consideration and decision. ECC is a member of the South West Area Network, the purpose of which is to participate in standardisation activities. We will also participate in the Skills for Care external moderation process. We may commission external observers to carry out one of the mandatory observations. How will the employer and NQSW deal with any disagreements over decisions?
