They're an English government 'quango' - a 'quasi non-governmental organisation' - http://www.qca.org.uk/7.html. Our equivalent here in Scotland is the SQA - http://www.sqa.org.uk. If governments in the UK feel they are unlikely to deliver on key election promises, they delegate the responsibility to a 'quango' so they have someone else to blame when it all goes horribly wrong.
