Deer Management Qualifications (DMQ) would like to thank “Roe Hunter” and “Mr Lewis” for posting documents on this site to help other DMQ Approved Witnesses. It is encouraging that witnesses are willing to help one another in this way.
In consideration of the demand, DMQ has now produced editable pdf templates for the Witness Record of Questioning, Candidate Narrative and Witness Additional Notes; they are available on the DMQ website.
Evidence compiled by Approved Witnesses (AWs) and Candidates using these templates will then have to be printed and inserted into the relevant places in the portfolio; all such inserts must be signed by the Witness and/or Candidate, as appropriate. The blank, non–editable, ICR pages already on the website can be used as before to produce paper inserts.
DMQ is not currently prepared to accept any of the portfolio sheets in electronic form, the portfolio must be presented in hard (paper) copy. Stick in labels will continue to be acceptable for AW contact details after element 4 of each ICR, and for contact details on the administration details page.
To maintain authenticity and control of submitted material, from 1 August 2012 DMQ will only accept paper inserts of portfolio forms which are produced using the DMQ templates; no alternatives, nor any electronic submissions will be accepted. The usual checks that the material submitted is authentic, current, sufficient and relevant will continue to be made.
All AW’s will be e-mailed advising them of the above.
For those with Adobe Reader, the new templates can be completed electronically and printed for insertion into the relevant page of a DSC2 portfolio. Using Adobe Reader, changes to the form cannot be saved and if witnesses wish to maintain a copy for future reference a second copy will need to be printed. If Adobe Acrobat or Adobe Creator is available, electronic copies can be saved to file but completed forms must not be shared for use by other Witnesses or Candidates.
Thanks again to all who support and work within the DMQ system.
Andrew Hoon, CE DMQ
