GCSE reform: regulations for sociology

This consultation is about changes we plan to make to our rules and guidance for new GCSEs in sociology. These rules will apply to the new sociology GCSEs that will be taught in schools in England from September 2017.

This consultation takes forward decisions made following our earlier consultation Development of new GCSEs and A levels for teaching from 2017, and is part of Ofqual’s work supporting the government’s changes to GCSEs, AS and A levels.
