Additional outreach work. More than £1 million is already committed to outreach work delivering against our institutional strategy from a range of HEFCE, ESF, Aimhigher and other monies. We plan to invest in the region of an additional £400,000 into a range of innovative schemes from 2006 as part of our commitment to enhancing opportunities and ensuring equity of access to higher education for potential students, particularly within our local communities in the North West. Over the three year period of the agreement we intend to undertake a number of new initiatives designed to deliver against our strategic objectives for widening participation alongside a commitment to evaluate and demonstrate the efficacy of this work in widening access institutionally and regionally.
Additional outreach work. Areas of work which will be supported or extended by the additional tuition fee income include the following:- Liverpool Hope University Compact Scheme The Compact will aim to support students who fulfil the agreed widening participation criteria through the recruitment and selection stages at Key Stage 5 and during their studies at Liverpool Hope University. The principle structure will be a contractual agreement between the university, the Student Fellow, their parent/guardian and their school/college. This aims to establish an educational partnership, with named personnel and departments, who together will provide support for the Student Fellow to assist their transition to Liverpool Hope University. It will also support their progression throughout their degree course, to secure success and enable them to achieve their own personal careers goals and aspirations.
