53.Section 24 requires the Accreditation Committee of Qualifications Scotland (established by paragraph 13 of schedule 1) to prepare and publish its own corporate plan, separate from that prepared by Qualifications Scotland, as soon as reasonably practicable after this section comes into force.
54.The corporate plan must set out how the committee intends to exercise the accreditation function under section 4 as well as its function of providing advice to Ministers (see paragraph 13(2) of schedule 1), for which it is responsible, and may include such other material as it considers appropriate. The committee may prepare a new corporate plan at any time and must publish any such new plan. The provision regarding the content of the plan also applies automatically to any new plan.
