The Campaign<\/h2>\n

In the summer of 2020<\/span>,<\/span>\u00a0students across the country were\u00a0<\/span>prevented from sitting\u00a0<\/span>their exams\u00a0<\/span>by<\/span>\u00a0Covid-19. Ofqual, the UK\u2019s exam regulator<\/span>,<\/span>\u00a0decided an algorithm should determine\u00a0<\/span>their<\/span>\u00a0grades<\/span>\u00a0instead<\/span>.\u00a0<\/span>This\u00a0<\/span>resulted in 40% of students\u2019 results being downgraded\u00a0<\/span>and was\u00a0<\/span>particularly negative\u00a0<\/span>for<\/span>\u00a0pupils attending schools\u00a0<\/span>in<\/span>\u00a0less affluent areas. Thousands of students nationwide risked losing university places because of algorithmic grades.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Foxglove teamed up with an 18-year-old student<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>called Curtis Parfitt-Ford<\/span>, supporting him\u00a0<\/span>to bring a judicial review challenging the use of this algorithm. Curtis\u2019<\/span>s<\/span>\u00a0case argued that Ofqual\u2019s algorithm was unlawful, that Ofqual had acted in contradiction of its statutory powers, it had violated data protection law, and was unfair.\u202f\u202f<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Together<\/span>,<\/span>\u00a0Foxglove and Curtis launched a\u202f<\/span>change.org<\/span><\/a>\u202fpetition signed by over 250,000 people and launched a\u202f<\/span>crowdfunder<\/span><\/a>\u202fto cover\u00a0<\/span>his<\/span>\u00a0legal costs.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The\u00a0<\/span>case<\/span>,<\/span>\u00a0and national outcry<\/span>,<\/span>\u00a0ultimately led to a\u00a0<\/span>G<\/span>overnment\u202f<\/span>U<\/span>-turn. The algorithm was scrapped<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>and students across the country were finally given their teacher<\/span>–<\/span>assessed grades.\u202f\u202f<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Change<\/h2>\n

The case made front page news and was featured on LBC, the Today Programme, the Guardian, BBC News, the Telegraph and more. But\u00a0<\/span>Curtis and Foxglove\u00a0<\/span>didn\u2019t do this alone, students protested in the streets and there was national outcry.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Curtis\u2019 case and the A-Level grading fiasco sparked a much-needed national debate about the use of opaque algorithms in public life: not simply how they are used, but whether they should be used at all.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In the future,<\/span>\u00a0say Foxglove,<\/span>\u00a0consequential algorithmic systems must be designed and built in a way that is democratically\u00a0<\/span>acceptable<\/span>, and which does not cause chaos in thousands of lives.<\/span>\u202f<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Future<\/strong><\/h2>\n

While this case is over and it looks like the\u00a0<\/span>G<\/span>overnment won\u2019t be suggesting grades by algorithm\u00a0<\/span>in\u00a0<\/span>summer\u00a0<\/span>2021<\/span>, we are seeing algorithms used in the public sector more and more, often with harmful consequences. Foxglove continues to fight to\u202f<\/span>make UK public bodies use data in a way that is open, fair, and legal.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Other successful cases challenging unfair algorithms include\u202f<\/span>the UK\u2019s first successful\u202fjudicial review\u202fof an algorithmic system<\/span>,<\/span>\u00a0with\u202fpartners the Joint Council for the Welfare of Immigrants<\/span>. It is also\u00a0<\/span>challeng<\/span>ing<\/span>\u202fa discriminatory Home Office \u2018<\/span>visa streaming algorithm’.<\/span><\/a>\u202f<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Foxglove is also focusing on\u00a0<\/span>transparency<\/span>, alongside\u00a0<\/span>openDemocracy<\/span>,<\/span>\u202f<\/span>around<\/span>\u00a0secret contracts\u202fentered into\u202fby the\u00a0<\/span>G<\/span>overnment and big technology companies, including Palantir and Amazon, for the \u2018<\/span>NHS Covid-19 datastore\u2019<\/span>.<\/span><\/a>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This case and campaign would not have happened without the brilliant Curtis Parfitt-Ford. Curtis was the A-level student who<\/span>\u202f<\/span><\/b>brought this legal challenge out of deep concern that the A-Level grading algorithm would further ingrain inequality in education, treating him and his peers, especially those at disadvantaged schools, unfairly.\u202f<\/span>\u202f<\/span>\u00a0
<\/span>\u202f\u202f\u202f \u202f<\/span>\u202f<\/span>\u00a0
<\/span>Curtis\u2019s legal team were David Wolfe QC at Matrix Chambers, Estelle\u202f<\/span>Dehon<\/span>\u202fat Cornerstone Barristers, and\u202f<\/span>Ciar<\/span>\u202fMcAndrew at Monckton Chambers. \u202f\u202f<\/span>\u202f<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The 250,000 people\u00a0<\/span>who<\/span>\u00a0signed Curtis\u2019 petition and the thousands of people who donated to Curtis\u2019 crowdfunding campaign.\u202f<\/span>\u202f<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Teachers up and down the country that worked so hard to produce accurate grades for their pupils.\u202f<\/span>\u202f<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
