Section 13 of the Act of 2012 requires that providers facilitate and assist QQI in the performance of its functions, insofar as those functions relate to the functions of that provider.

Section 14 enables the authority to make a direction in writing, which a provider shall comply with, requiring that provider to provide information to the authority where it has failed to do so, following a request from section 13. The proposed amendment will include listed awarding bodies as subject to the requirements of these sections.
