Part of the Advance HE member benefit Governance Effectiveness Project on Academic Assurance, this series of case studies and shared practice are designed to support higher education institution governing bodies with innovating their own practice in academic assurance. These resources will showcase innovation across key areas of academic assurance such as: Board recruitment, Induction and training, Senate/Academic Board relationship, Board processes, Data and information, Impact and External assurance.
In the first in the series, this case study from Buckinghamshire New University looks at how they went about mapping all of their academic assurance data sources, giving them a fuller understanding of the academic work taking place across the institution.

Governance Effectiveness Projects: Academic Assurance
This is a collaborative project between Advance HE, UUK, CUC and GuildHE which aims to convene the sector to understand shared challenges and approaches to academic assurance. It is driven by the increased need for governors to understand and receive evidence-based assurance about student outcomes in England as a requirement from the Office for Students, but also increasingly in other UK Nations as part of their regulatory requirements.
