This Prior Information Notice is regarding a market engagement event around proposals for the approval of providers of MQSIs as detailed below.
MQSI approvals:
We intend to develop a new commercial approval process to determine providers of MQSIs from the start of academic year 2023/2024.
What we want from MQSIs:
- To ensure a supply of teachers of children with visual, hearing and multi-sensory impairment, including those providing support in mainstream schools.
- To ensure a high-quality, sustainable and resilient qualifications market that that supports high quality outcomes for children with sensory impairment.
We are seeking feedback in advance of developing a new approvals process, from Higher Education Providers and other organisations - with Taught Degree Awarding Powers that would be interested in offering these qualifications.
Details of a virtual pre-market engagement event will be given to all those who have registered. The Market Engagement Event will be during w/c 17 January 2022, with the specific date provided to all those that register interest.

Your questions and feedback will be used to help us identify the best commercial process to achieve the aim/objectives outlined above.
