Institutional Monitoring Arrangements. The University monitors admissions data, student performance and the quality of the student experience very carefully. This includes reflection by all departments on the performance of students from under-represented groups as part of the Annual Review of Teaching Quality, a core component of the University’s internal quality assurance process. Milestones and targets relating to the Access Agreement will form part of the Widening Participation Strategy and other internal key performance indicators, and will be incorporated in the University’s ongoing risk analysis activity. Monitoring of progress against plans and milestones set out in the Access Agreement will be undertaken specifically by the Learning and Teaching Development Group, which is responsible for overseeing the development and implementation of both the University’s Widening Participation Strategy and its Learning and Teaching Strategy. The Learning and Teaching Development Group is a sub-committee of the Learning and Teaching Committee which in turn reports to the University’s Senate. Further monitoring and reporting will be undertaken as part of the Corporate Planning process and reported to the University’s Strategic Planning Committee and Council. Progress against milestones identified within the Agreement will be submitted to HEFCE via the University’s Annual Monitoring Statement at the end of each academic session.
