Not Achieved

You’ve not met the DCS criteria. The reason/s will be identified in the report and action plan.

First Report of DCS Standard

DCS Pending

You’ve met most of the criteria, but an insufficient number of learners were sampled.  DCS is therefore pending until correct number of learners have been sampled.

DCS Maintained

You currently have DCS and have maintained this status following your recent EQA review.

DCS Lapsed

Your DCS has lapsed as an EQA review did not take place within 12 months of the date DCS was achieved or maintained.

DCS Lost
