Functional skills initial assessment if exempt from level 2 exam

Created

Hi 

Do you conduct maths & English initial assessments, even with the learners who have an exemption? (My moral stance is yes we 'should', but 'must ' we?)

What do other HEIs do around this? 

Advice appreciated.

Is an Ofsted/quality thing about understanding everyone's starting point (if they passed GCSE 10 years ago, can they still remember it all!?), rather than a funding/audit thing, so I probably would because there might be extra stuff I needed to teach them to meet a KSB even though they are officially exempt from having to study maths/english and I'd want to show Ofsted how I worked out what those extra things were.
