Effective regulation is essential to provide accountability for public funds, protect the interests of students and safeguard the reputation of UK higher education.
We are working closely with government, the national regulators and funding bodies and the Quality Assurance Agency to make sure regulation and quality assurance continues to be effective now and into the future and that there is a consistent approach across the UK.
We aim to ensure that:
- there is consistency and comparability of arrangements across the whole of the UK
- external quality assessment is proportionate, risk based and founded on effective institutional assurance arrangements
- the sector maintains a shared and robust baseline of quality
- regulation protects students against transient, negligent and poor quality providers
Copyright Negotiating and Advisory Committee
We also co-convene, with GuildHE, a group responsible for negotiating copyright licences on behalf of the higher education sector.
