From Sky News: A-levels: Exam regulator ignored expert help after statisticians wouldn't sign non-disclosure agreements.

Summary:

Royal Statistical Society (RSS) offered to help the regulator with the algorithm in April, writing to Ofqual to suggest that it take advice from external experts.
The news comes as the RSS has sent a letter to the Office for Statistics Regulation urging it to investigate the algorithm used by Ofqual.
The letter, seen by Sky News, criticises the regulator's approach, saying it has "not been sufficiently transparent to meet the aim of being trustworthy".

We have forwarded this petition to Sky News. Please do the same!
