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. To register, please email sendbaea.education@gov.uk with your details by 14th January 2022.

Please send any other questions you have prior to the event to: sendbaea.commercial@education.gov.uk by 4th January 2022. Your questions and feedback will be used to help us identify the best commercial process to achieve the aim/objectives outlined above.
