Accreditation

Strategy & Planning

Whether purpose, resources and priorities line up behind the programme.

Axis 02 of 07

Why this axis

Good intentions need resources. This axis looks at whether the programme has a clear purpose and whether planning, staffing and funding line up behind it for the whole period of accreditation.

What we ask

  • What is the programme for, and who is it for?
  • How are priorities set and resourced, and by whom?
  • How does the institution plan for growth, change and risk?
  • How often are plans reviewed, and what has changed as a result?

Evidence we look for

  • Mission and programme purpose statements
  • Strategic or operational plans and budgets relevant to the programme
  • Risk register and continuity arrangements
  • Records of plan reviews and resulting decisions

What good looks like. Purpose is specific, plans are costed and resourced, and the institution can show a past plan that it reviewed and revised.
