The SeniorContactConfirmed field is confirmation that the AO has senior designated contact details and has processes to ensure such contacts are kept up to date when key centre staff change. It does not matter if this has been collected through a collaborative process or at AO level. This field is intended to provide Ofqual with assurance that you are confident you could contact an appropriate senior member of centre staff in the event that this becomes necessary.
·         AOs who have their SDC details collected for them via the NCN process ONLY should submit NCN in this field
·         AOs who have their SDC details collected for them via the NCN process AND collect their own SDC data for all their centres in addition to NCN should submit NCNA
·         Where an AO collects SDC data through the NCN process for most centres, they should submit NCN for the centres where the data is collected through NCN and for the centres where the AO collects SDC data through their own processes, they should submit a Y (yes) or N (no)
·         All other AOs should submit a Y (yes) or N (no)
