Mr. Dave Moore:

As already stated, we have been making representations. There has been a five-year gap since reference to the need for quality assurance measures. That matter was first put on the table in 2009 and ICOS has participated in all the consultations which have taken place. We previously made submissions highlighting issues that arose as a result of previous college closures and the need to move to having a much more regulated sector in order that students will not be the displaced victims of that process.
