Open, two-way, dialogue with the sector we regulate is essential for regulation that works effectively in the interest of students.
That’s why we’re building on our refreshed approach to communication and engagement with institutions with a new piece of research to test the impact of the changes we’ve already made.
It’s been almost a year since we started to act on the recommendations from our initial research on our engagement with higher education institutions.
Since then, we’ve visited almost 100 universities and colleges, of all types, right across England. I’m consistently impressed by the staff I meet on my visits – colleagues working hard to deliver life-changing education to students from all backgrounds. And those students are invariably eloquent about the opportunities they see for their futures and the challenges they face while they’re studying.
