To ask His Majesty's Government, further to the Written Statement by Baroness Smith of Malvern on 25 July (HLWS20), who will undertake the review of reforms of post-16 qualifications at level 3 and below; and how they intend to seek the views of those currently involved in the delivery of such qualifications as part of the review.

In July, my Right hon. Friend, the Secretary of State for Education announced a short review of post-16 qualification reforms at level 3 and below. This review will begin immediately. It will examine the current planned reforms and look at how the department can ensure all young people have access to high-quality technical and vocational qualifications at level 3.
This rapid review will be conducted by the department and will engage with a wide range of stakeholders and providers who currently deliver qualifications at level 3 and below to inform the review. More details on this will be communicated to the sector shortly.
