A working manual for a GCSE psychology department teaching AQA 8182, written to the specification and checked against it before release.
Ofqual sets the three objectives and the 35/35/30 split, so those are identical on every board. What differs, and what Part One opens on, is whether a department has a decision to make at all: AQA fixes every optional topic and both mental-health conditions itself, where the Department's own content leaves two genuine choices open. A department moving a resource from another board onto this one is moving from a qualification with a choice to one without.
Page two routes by reader: a classroom teacher, someone new to the department, a head of department and a line manager each get a named place to start. Everything after Part One is subject pedagogy that is true whichever board you teach — including which edition of the International Classification of Diseases to teach: the Department's content names none, and neither does AQA's specification, while ICD-11 came into effect on 1 January 2022.
Every claim about this board resolves against this board's own specification before the book is built, including the fact that AQA publishes no command-word glossary — checked against the full text of the specification, which contains no section by that name.
