Iteration 2 (2/3-13/3)

Iteration 2 goal:

  • To address data protection issues both in EERS and BI reports affecting External Examiners details, and user roles. A redaction tool for identified data breaches in External Examiner reports and a tracking BI Report will be introduced.  This will ensure the system is compliant with data protection legislation and guidance will be released on how to use these tools. External Examiner email address and postal address will no longer be displayed on the External Examiner reports for data protection purposes.  

  • Usability: an External examiner knows who to contact should there be a system issue in EERS

  • School level role group: school contacts are maintained and key contacts can be changed
