Annual report on engagement with professional, statutory and regulatory bodies (PSRB) in 2017-18

Summary

This report is in three parts

Part 1 provides an overview of the University’s engagement with professional, statutory and regulatory bodies as recorded in the University’s PSRB list covering 2015-18. The list records PSRB interactions as they relate to registered students, by course. It covers three academic sessions (2015-16, 2016-17 and 2017-18).

Part 2 provides brief details of visits and accreditations undertaken in 2017/18.

Part 3 summarises the conditions/recommendations and any good practice identified.

Further information

The University PSRB list is compiled from records of engagements with PSRBs at course level. It is available on the curriculum page on the Quality Assurance and Enhancement website on Staffcentral.

Definitions used in the University list are available as Appendix 1. Please refer to these for an understanding of how courses and instances of engagement are counted.

Management and oversight of PSRB relationships is delegated to School Academic Scrutiny Committees (SASCs) as part of course approval, monitoring and review, with responsibility for liaison with individual bodies lying with schools at subject and course level. This report is compiled from PSRB reports which are held centrally (Academic Services, Curriculum), following review by School Academic Scrutiny Committees. PSRB information on the University’s website and on Unistats is derived from this information.

PART 1

1 University PSRB list 2017-18

1.1 The University has a significant number of professional and vocationally oriented awards and as a result, has extensive engagement with a wide range of professional, statutory and regulatory bodies (PSRBs). Management of PSRB relationships is delegated to School Academic Scrutiny Committees (SASCs) as part of course approval, monitoring and review, with responsibility for liaison with individual bodies lying with schools at subject and course level.

1.2 The report provides headline figures on the nature and volume of engagements with PSRBs in the period 2015-18. The report includes Appendix 1 which explains the definitions used in the report (and in the list) and abbreviations.

2 Volume of Activity

2.1 In 2017-18, there were 238 courses which were listed as having had an engagement with 53 PSRBs over the period covered by the list (2015-18). These activities were spread across the schools and include engagements with courses in the Brighton and Sussex Medical School.

2.2 The number of students affected by PSRB engagements varies depending on the size of the course. Across the University, 52% of students were registered on a course that had an engagement with at least one professional, statutory or regulatory body in 2017-18. The number of students affected by School is reflected in the table 1 below.

2.3 While the figures reflect the sum of PSRB engagements, they do not capture the nature or frequency of interactions with individual PSRBs, each of which has unique demands. Some PSRBs require multiple interactions in a single year, while others are satisfied with a single activity organised once every few years.

2.4 In the period 2015-18, the University engaged with 52 PSRBs. A full list, together with the number of students affected by engagements in the last three academic sessions, can be found in the table 2 below.

3 Nature of Involvement

3.1 The University characterises its engagement under five categories which are detailed below. The nature of involvement with individual PSRBs determines the level of engagement schools have with individual bodies. Statutory approval generally requires significantly more preparation and interaction than endorsement which could involve no more than an exchange of correspondence. The implications of not gaining approval are key to understanding the type of engagement with a PSRB and these are specified in the University’s list.

i. Accreditation generally confers membership to professional bodies on graduates of the course. On several courses, failing to gain accreditation would result in graduates being unable to register as a practitioner in their specialist area.

ii. Professional Approval does not present legal difficulties for students but generally facilitates further study or career progression and/ or training in particular areas.

iii. Statutory Approval confers recognition that a course meets the demands of the statutory framework for a particular profession. Statutory approval is required by law in several areas and courses which fail to secure approval cannot be offered.

iv. Endorsement confers on graduates additional recognition by professional bodies and may help in the recruitment of students or the development of the curriculum.

v. Recognition reflects the confidence that a particular PSRB has in the quality of a course, and may help in the recruitment of students.

3.2 There are 38 bodies providing accreditation to courses, one providing professional approval, five providing statutory approval, five providing endorsement (one of which is statutory), and

Page 4 of 37

one providing recognition. Engagement with one PSRB was categorised as HE Dual Accreditation and one PSRB was affiliated with a course.

3.4 The type of engagement with each PSRB is listed below, together with the number of courses affected by each.

PART 2

This section of the report summarises the accreditations that took place in 2017-18.

There were 26 PSRB accreditations in 2017-18 covering 136 courses and 4 modules. Some of these are renewals of accreditation on an annual basis whilst others range from short term to 6 year accreditation periods. Of the accreditations that took place, two reaccreditations are awaiting confirmation from PSRBs. There were 7 courses and 2 modules which achieved successful annual monitoring with their PSRBs.

It should be noted that all undergraduate and postgraduate provision in the School of Education and School of Sport and Services Management that is ‘accredited’ by the NCTL and subject to Ofsted inspectors must demonstrate how the respective programme meets the DfE and NCTL requirements and the Teachers’ Standards for the respective phase. For each phase (Early Years, primary, secondary and further education and training) the Schools produce and annual Self Evaluation Document that contains benchmarked analysis of performance and achievement. The SEDs are accompanied by improvement plans and these must be updated and reviewed throughout each academic year. In addition to this, the Early Years ITT programme is required to submit a monthly recruitment report, using specified headings provided by the NCTL.

BSc (Hons) Business Management and Placement YearBSc (Hons) Business ManagementBSc (Hons) Business Management with Marketing and Placement YearBSc (Hons) Business Management with MarketingBSc (Hons) Business Management with Finance and Placement YearBSc (Hons) Business Management with FinanceBSc (Hons) Business Management with Economics and Placement YearBSc (Hons) Business Management with EconomicsBSc (Hons) Business Management with HRM and Placement YearBSc (Hons) Business Management with HRMBSc (Hons) International Business Management

The mapping exercise is based on the information supplied at the time of mapping. Subsequent minor modifications to units may change the mapping outcome, and it is the Schools responsibility to ensure that mapping is reviewed annually to ensure that any changes have not altered mapping outcomes. Major changes such as revalidation will require remapping activity. Students who achieve lower grades on University modules mapped to CMI units may struggle to demonstrate full achievement of the CMI criteria. The Centre IQA process should ensure that the CMI criteria are met in full by all students for whom qualifications are being claimed.

PART 3

This section of the report provides a top-level summary of conditions, recommendations and commendations set by PSRBs following accreditations, approvals and endorsements of the University’s taught provision during 2017-18.

Members are asked to note the following when considering the report;

the report only covers accreditations/approvals/endorsements/recommendations where the core event took place in 2017-18, it does not cover those that had a follow-up visit in 2017-18 to review outstanding conditions and recommendations where the core event had taken place in the previous academic year;

there is an extensive range of engagements which have not been included in this report, e.g. annual monitoring and course change approvals, as the outcomes of these engagements did not culminate in conditions, recommendations or commendations set by the PSRB.

1 Overview / Introduction

1.1 In 2017-18 there were 54 PSRB accreditations (including approvals / endorsements / recognitions/ exemptions) of 51 courses. 28 of these were conducted as physical visits to the University, and 24 were desk-top reviews.

1.2 This report is compiled from analysis of the reports issued by PSRBs, prior to accreditation / approval being granted by all PSRBs. The PSRBs’ reports and the Course Leaders’ responses/action plans are reviewed and monitored by SASCs.

1.3 The report focusses on the nature of conditions, recommendations and commendations set by PSRBs during 2017-18, as they fit into key themes.

2 Methodology

2.1 It should be noted that the terminology used by PSRBs in setting the outcomes of their approvals / accreditations is varied. Some use the terms “conditions”, “recommendations”, “commendations” whilst others use “requirements” or “action points” but did not award accreditation until all such points had been addressed or satisfactorily responded to (these have been categorised as conditions). Some use the term “advice” (which has been categorised as “recommendations”). The terms “positive feedback” and “Good Practice noted by the Panel” were also used, and these have been categorised as commendations.

2.2 The conditions, recommendations and commendations have each been categorised into a number of themes:

Learning and Teaching; Assessment; Resources; Organisation and Management; Student Feedback and Experience; Curriculum; Admissions; and ‘miscellaneous’.

3 Frequency of Conditions, Recommendations, Commendations

3.1 The number of conditions set by PSRBs is reflected in Table 1 below. A total of 29 PSRBs accredited/approved/endorsed a range of courses and modules, setting a total of 23 conditions, 43 recommendations and identifying 18 commendations. It should be noted that 6 PSRBs did not set any outcomes or submit a report as such, and therefore, these have not been included in this report.

4 Conditions, Recommendations and Commendations by Theme

4.1 Table 1 provides a breakdown of PSRB outcomes by theme:

Page 19 of 37

Commendations Recommendations ConditionsLearning and Teaching 5 28% 3 7% 6 26%Assessment 0 0% 5 12% 3 13%Resources 4 22% 4 9% 8 35%Organisation & Management 2 11% 2 5% 0 0%Student Feedback and Experience 7 39% 0 0% 2 9%Curriculum 0 0% 19 44% 4 17%Admissions 0 0% 7 16% 0 0%Other/misc 0 0% 3 7% 0 0%Total 18 43 23

The highest theme of conditions set by PSRBs (35%) were related to Resources. The second highest theme was conditions related to Learning and Teaching (26%) with Resources (17%), Assessment (16%) and Student feedback and Experience (9%) taking up the remaining conditions.

The highest theme of recommendations set by PSRBs were based on Curriculum (44%), with Admissions (16%) and assessment (12%) also scoring relatively highly.

The highest theme of commendations set by PSRBs were based on Student Feedback and Experience (39%) with Learning and Teaching (28%) and Resources (22%) also scoring relatively highly.

There were a total of eighteen commendations from PSRBs in 2017-18. Some highlights include:

Partnership working is clearly evident, staff are responsive to students, and students are clearly a valued part of the course - student satisfaction is reflected in high NSS results.

The visiting team recognise the outstanding support offered to the students by the programme technicians.

The wide range of contemporary resources, including the library, laboratory, IT facilities and ‘student central’.

5. ConclusionAll but two of the 2017-18 PSRB accreditations, approvals and endorsements were successfully concluded, with final confirmation awaited for the remaining two PSRBs.

Where responses to conditions and recommendations were produced by Course Leaders / Schools, most conditions were met through further revision of documentation, course plans or curriculum.

Appendix 1: Definitions

1 The format for recording PSRB relationships and engagements was approved by a sub-committee1 of Academic Standards Committee and covers the type of engagement, date at which accreditation, approval, endorsement or recognition began, the date of the last visit by the PSRB, the anticipated date of the next visit, and consideration of reports from engagement by SASCs. School records also note any implications for a course which fails to secure accreditation, approval, endorsement or recognition and any requirements that external examiners should be aware of.

2 For the purposes of monitoring engagements, details of interactions with individual PSRBs are maintained in School lists which are collated into an institutional list annually in September. This is published on staffcentral by the end of the first term of the following academic session and records PSRB interactions against a list of registered students, organised by course, as reflected in the Academic Health Data2 published on the 1st September 2017.

3 The Progressions and Achievements Qlikview application reflects the student profile across three academic sessions as drawn from the Student Record System in SITS on 1st September 2017 and covers all provision (undergraduate, postgraduate taught and postgraduate research). As it reflects student registration records, which may include registration on intermediate awards or courses which while not leading to an award of the University, support student progression towards such awards (see 1.4 below), the list should not be viewed as a definitive list of courses at the University. Rather, it is a reflection of the number of students affected by engagements with PSRBs, their distribution across schools, and the range of courses which professional, statutory and regulatory bodies accredit, approve, endorse, or recognise.

4 In using the Un iversity list , the following is of note:

The Institutional Data Set includes EMAs (extended master awards comprising a standard Masters award with integrated pre-sessional language provision). Before 2011-12, EMA courses were listed alongside the linked standard Masters award in the institutional PSRB list. From 2011-12, reporting of EMAs in the PSRB list was amended: the language component was grouped under short courses monitored by the School of Humanities (which has responsibility for quality assurance of this provision) and the remainder of the EMA provision was reported under the linked standard Masters course.

Intermediate awards for which students are registered directly are listed as separate courses rather than being collated into programmes of study. This often has implications for PSRB engagement, particularly where statutory approval may be linked to an intermediate award from which students may progress should they wish to attain the higher award.

Provision which does not lead to an award of the University is included (e.g. pre-sessional language courses used on EMA courses, Erasmus courses and continuing professional development programmes).

In some instances, courses may be counted more than once if students registered for them have been assigned to different schools for planning purposes. In these instances, students are only counted once (against the course and school to which they are assigned).

1 Following the successful establishment of institutional oversight of PSRB activity and a typology of engagements, the Sub-Committee for PSRB Reports was stood down at the end of 2012-13 and its remaining work absorbed by Academic Standards Committee.2 The Academic Health snapshot reflects the student profile (by course and school) as drawn from the Student Record System for the purposes of annual monitoring and evaluation of taught provision in the Academic Health process. It is available for internal use on the Academic Health webpage on Staffcentral.

https://staff.brighton.ac.uk/reg/acs/Pages/Course-approval-and-review.aspx

http://staffcentral.brighton.ac.uk/academichealth/default.shtm

Although postgraduate research awards are listed, PSRB accreditation, approval, endorsement and accreditation is usually of taught provision only.

As of 2012-13, with the move of a majority of partner college courses to a directly funded model, accreditation, approval, endorsement or recognition of University courses taught in partner institutions is not reflected in the University’s PSRB list.
