Decision
1. Noted ongoing developments with performance evaluation of senior phase qualifications;
2. Agreed to receive further reports on the development of the Senior Phase Benchmarking Toolkit (Insight) as appropriate; and
3. Noted the proposed presentation on Insight at the Members seminar on 2 June 2014.
