ESA RECRDED ASSESSMENTS
Are you going for a F2F assessment for ESA and have asked for it recording? Well now there is concrete proof that the machines need two boundry microphones for recording of assessments.
This is confirmed by a freedom of Information request by Sarah Conner and upheld by the Internal Review they requested when they originally said they were not complying under S12.
The main point of her request was to assertain if there was any internal mics on the NEAL DUEL RECORDERS used by MAXIMUS when a person asks for a recorded assessment. By their response it was thought they were trying to hide until the internal review pointed out otherwise. The only point of the request was to see if they required external boundry mics for recordings and this clearly showed they do require external microphones for recording assessments. This one sentence clearly says that the boundry microphones are required: In reply to your original questions 1 and 2, I can advise that the recording machines requirew boundry microphones
I believe that anyone that goes for a F2F and is having it recorded you, IMHO, should walk if they are not on the machine at the assessment. The HP might say they are not needed so ask them to point out the internal mics on the machine, simple answer they cannot, you win, they lose. You then hit them with the reply in red from above and tell them if the payments stop, i.e. they claim you didn't turn up to the DWP, you start court action against them and the DWP with immediate effect from the moment the payments stop. It then starts all over again, you turn up get the expenses form, ask if the machine is there and complete and in full working order, this keeps going on until you get a machine with boundry mics and in working order.
