Summary

This is a day of reflection on the first year of the implementation of ‘How Good Is Our College’ and the new Quality Arrangements, looking at it from the viewpoint of Colleges, Education Scotland and the Scottish Funding Council. There are presentations from all three areas, and there are two discussion workshops for delegates to reflect on the presentations and on their own experiences since the launch of HGIOC in December 2016. There is also an input on the emerging area of EU General Data Protection Regulation which may have an impact on the way that Quality Teams handle data. The event should provide an opportunity for all delegates to find out about the latest thinking, to influence the direction taken in 2017/18 and to learn from the experiences of the first year of implementation.

Who should attend

Student Association representatives, Quality Managers, Strategic Managers with responsibility for Quality.
