Office for Students’ consultation on the future approach to quality regulation
London Higher supports the ambition for a clearer and more coherent approach to quality regulation. Providers in the capital are committed to delivering high quality teaching and outcomes, and an effective framework should support improvement while recognising the diversity of provision in London.
Our response identifies several areas where further development is required as well as concerns on fairness and proportionality for smaller, specialist and post-graduate only providers; insufficient recognition of the contextual and widening participation factors; and the impact of a compressed delivery timetable.
