Commentary on Sections Part 7: Enforcement
83.The means by which Qualifications Wales will regulate awarding bodies and qualifications within its remit is through conditions of recognition under Part 3 and conditions of approval under Part 4. Powers of enforcement under this Part ensure that action can be taken in the event of a failure, or likely failure, to comply with any of those conditions. Qualifications Wales also has available to it the power to withdraw recognition (in Schedule 3), the power to withdraw approval (in section 27) and the power to revoke a designation (in section 32). In exercising the powers under this Part, Qualifications Wales must have regard to the principles regarding regulatory activities set out in section 54(2) (performance of regulatory activities). See also section 47 as to the requirement to prepare a statement of its policy in relation to its functions under this Part.
