Undertaking quality assurance activities

When we assess institutions or programmes through our processes, we develop themes and questions to explore with education providers.

We aim to work in the most proportionate way to explore these themes and questions. We do this by undertaking ‘quality activities’

  • Quality activities are not always limited to 'problems'. We may undertake quality activities to explore an innovative approach or example of good practice
  • We do not apply a blanket solution for the exploration of all areas, meaning we may undertake a range of quality activities through assessment
  • We aim to undertake the lowest burden activities required, which enable us to explore themes as we need to

The following is a list of quality activities, which we use as a guideline through developing bespoke assessment through processes.
