When exam centres fail to uphold strict compliance standards, the door opens to malpractice and cheating. Weak ID checks, poor invigilation, or inconsistent enforcement of regulations can give candidates unfair advantages, undermining the integrity of results. Even isolated incidents can cast doubt over the credibility of an entire cohort.
The consequences go far beyond individual cases. Non-compliance with awarding body regulations, such as JCQ and Ofqual requirements, can lead to sanctions, reputational damage, and loss of accreditation. Cheating scandals attract negative attention from the media, stakeholders, and the public, eroding trust in the institution. Ultimately, failure to detect and prevent malpractice puts students, staff, and the organisation’s standing at serious risk.
