Schools and colleges must confirm each student has fulfilled the fieldwork requirement via a fieldwork statement
Your school must sign off that you completed all required fieldwork. They do this using an official document called a fieldwork statement.
Real World
If a school's fieldwork coordinator submits an incomplete or missing fieldwork statement to AQA, the entire cohort's NEA submissions can be withheld from marking — making this administrative step as consequential as the investigation itself.
Exam Focus
This topic is unlikely to be examined directly, but if asked about the NEA process, explain that the fieldwork statement is a formal verification mechanism, not merely an administrative formality.
