Can a supervisor authorise the end of a mini-PAT early when there are still assessors responses pending?

The supervisor being happy with the mix of assessors in a Mini-PAT is contingent on them being able to see who has responded. As the assessment is confidential, the supervisor cannot see who has responded, so would not be able to say they are happy with the mix of assessors if all assessors have not responded.

Only if all assessors have responded can the supervisor be sure that the trainee has the appropriate mix of assessors.
