Know What's Changed.
Know What to Do Next.
This isn't simply a walk-through of a guidance document.
We'll consider what the updated guidance actually means for the decisions, procedures and safeguards involved in assessing remotely.
What has changed?
Explore the key updates in the October 2026 SASC remote assessment guidance and what assessors need to understand.
What does it mean for your practice?
Consider the implications for your assessment procedures, professional responsibilities and the decisions you make when assessing remotely.
What do you need to do next?
Identify what may need reviewing or updating so that your remote assessment practice reflects the new guidance.
Remote assessment isn't a temporary workaround. It's how I assess.
I've been committed to remote diagnostic assessment since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.
I was the first trainer to offer remote assessment training during that period, and I haven't returned to face-to-face assessment since.
I firmly believe that remote assessment can be an effective and professionally robust way of assessing, provided it is planned, delivered and interpreted appropriately.
It isn't simply about transferring a face-to-face assessment onto a screen. It requires careful planning, sound professional judgement and an understanding of the opportunities and limitations of working remotely.
In this session, I'll draw on my practical experience to help you understand the updated guidance and consider what it means for your own practice.

For Remote Assessors and Those Considering the Move
This session is suitable for diagnostic assessors who:
- Already assess remotely and want to ensure their practice reflects the updated guidance.
- Are considering introducing remote assessment into their professional practice.
- Want to understand their professional responsibilities when working remotely.
- Would value practical insight from an experienced remote assessor.
One Important Distinction
This is a focused professional update on the October 2026 SASC guidance. It is not a full remote assessment training course.
