Update history

Updated the document template and clarified aspects of the text. AEA no longer in scope. Updated accepted values for ‘Qualification level’ to harmonise with other GQ templates. Time period in scope changed so data is collected once per academic year, including both the latest summer and November exam series. Added fields ‘UniqueLearnerNumber’, ‘CandidateIdentifierOther” and ‘CentrePostcode’” and validation rules. Changed validation for ‘Centre No’ field to accept 5 digits only (or -2) and added validation rule for valid NCN. Changed validation for ‘UniqueCandidateIdentifier’ to accept 13 characters only (or -2) in line with the expectation for a valid UCI.
