We bring together HE-focused expertise in governance, leadership and management, teaching and learning, and equality, diversity and inclusion, to help you to deliver world-leading teaching, research and scholarship, your civic mission and student outcomes at your institution.
One of the ways that we do this is through the provision of specialist knowledge and resources in the following key priority areas.
Enhancing Teaching and Learning in higher education
The quality of teaching in higher education has never been more important. This has created an opportunity to reflect in depth on multiple aspects of our current policy and practice. Both celebrating best practice and recognising opportunities for future development, but ultimately aspiring to achieve sustainable teaching excellence.
Equality, Diversity and Inclusion
Understand the common issues in further and higher education to design inclusive support services, develop accessible campus environments and make everyone feel welcome at your institution.
Effective Governance
In today’s turbulent environment all providers need high performing boards that are equipped to determine the strategic course of the organisation.
Leadership and Management
Advancing knowledge, exchanging and spreading evidence based decision making in leadership and management.
Consultancy and Enhancement Services
Your challenges are our priorities and as we’re independent of any regulatory framework, we can provide an external viewpoint and be your critical friend. We create ‘safe places’, facilitating collaboration and candid conversation between and within institutions. Our support includes:
- expert advice and guidance
- bespoke sustainable consultancy solutions from department through to institutional level
- staff development opportunities at all levels
- teaching resources
- events and networks
- examples of sector best practice
