Monitoring and evaluation arrangements Monitoring of the targets and milestones identified within this Access Agreement is incorporated within the University’s operational and strategic reporting, which ensures that this important area of work is considered appropriately within our decision-making. As a result, performance data on progress against these targets are used by the University Board, Academic Board and its sub- committees, the Senior Leadership Team, Colleges, Schools and Services, as well as by the University’s Access Agreement Working Group. Our Access Agreements are monitored through reports to the university’s Student Experience Committee, which is a sub-committee of Academic Board and is chaired by the Deputy Vice- Chancellor (Academic). The Students’ Union is represented on this Committee. Overall responsibility for the Access Agreement resides with our Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Academic). The detailed work to develop our Access Agreements and coordinate evaluation of the impact of work in this area is undertaken by a working group, which is chaired by our Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Academic). This group includes representatives of university services responsible for the operational delivery of the activities described and the Students’ Union. We are continuing to enhance our ability to monitor impacts at the more detailed level, through arrangements to track the progress of students involved in specific initiatives or in receipt of financial support and overall monitoring of any differentials in levels of access, retention, attainment and progression by equality characteristics and other factors known to impact on these aspects of the student lifecycle. As part of this, we are committed to using the ‘closing the gap’ methodology recently developed for OFFA, to ensure that we understand the impact of our financial support arrangements on the success of those of our students who benefit. To date, we have already undertaken significant evaluation of the impact of our financial support and this has led to a complete change in our approach. As referred to in the Financial Support section, above, we have now focused all our financial support on incentivising progression and we require all students in receipt of additional payments to identify how this funding has benefitted them – overwhelmingly these case studies report that such funding makes it possible for them to continue their studies. The primary group of students applying for additional support are parents and others with caring responsibilities and we have tailored support to their needs, for example, making hardship payments during the summer, to prevent them needing to claim benefits and therefore leave their courses. We have recently commenced a longitudinal study to identify the impact of these interventions. We monitor annually the progression of students from HE courses offered through partner organisations to ‘top-up’ courses at UCLan and progression of students from the foundation year programmes. We are aware that a greater proportion of our foundation year students withdraw early and are working to identify any particular groups which may require intervention and support. The University is exploring its institutional data in more detail to identify different aspects of under- representation within the access, success and progression remits to inform our approaches moving forward. As referenced earlier in the document, we also draw on findings from national research and evaluation to ensure we are able to maximise the impact of our activities and resources and support our students effectively in fulfilling their full potential. We are in the process of implementing the HEAT database, and intend to use this to provide longitudinal tracking and enable us to assess the effectiveness and impact of our access and student success initiatives. To support this, we will be taking a research approach to our evaluation and have appointed new members of staff to take this forward. We plan to undertake randomised control trials and will extend this methodology if preliminary data looks promising. As we have referenced throughout this agreement, we regularly collect feedback on the impact of individual initiatives and programmes of activity and take soundings from students on the appropriateness and effectiveness of the support arrangements we have established. We also work closely with the Students Union to ensure the Student Voice is represented within our review and evaluation processes. EQUALITY AND DIVERSITY In designing this access agreement, the university has paid due regard to equality and diversity. UCLan is strongly committed to its equality and diversity responsibilities across the full range of its activities as a provider of higher education. Throughout the student lifecycle we actively promote equality, diversity and inclusion by providing diverse entry routes to our degree courses and a suite of interventions and support tailored to ensure students achieve their full potential regardless of prior attainment. Our access agreement is closely linked to our equality and diversity work. For example, we have expanded the suite of foundation entry year courses to provide non-standard access to all our undergraduate degrees. The study skills and learning support to smooth the transition to higher education embedded within the curriculum are designed to further strengthen, and ensure, student success. Our access agreement and equality and diversity focus are both intended to fulfil our key commitment of providing equality of opportunity to all, supporting the rights and freedoms of our diverse community and fostering good relations and understanding between groups. We are meeting the specific duties of the Equality Act 2010 and Public Sector Equality Duty (2011) and publishing a breadth of student and staff equality and diversity information at: xxx.xxxxx.xx.xx/xxxxxxxxxxx0000 Our vision is strongly focused on achieving equality of outcomes. Our strategic equality and diversity objectives are as follows: Enriching our culture of valuing and engaging people – staff and students feel valued and engaged in terms of equality, diversity and inclusion. Ensuring fair processes and inclusion – enhancing UCLan’s working and study environment; increasing consistency and fairness in all that we do; ensuring our inclusion agenda is more prominent and broadly understood. Empowering people (protected groups) – empowering staff and students to succeed to the best of their abilities, irrespective of their characteristics. Embedding diversity, dignity and wellbeing – enhancing the way we embed diversity, dignity and wellbeing in all of our functions and services; ensuring everyone has a role to play in improving our environment, culture and behaviour. In support of this, we continue to lead, participate and engage in a range of internal and external equality networks, activities and events to promote equality, diversity and inclusion. We also strive to achieve a range of external equality awards and accreditations, such as the Equality Challenge Unit (ECU)’s Xxxxxx XXXX and Race Equality Charter Marks. We currently hold an Institutional Xxxxxx XXXX Bronze Award and are working towards several other awards. We also hold Stonewall Champions and Mindful Employer accreditations and are a Disability Confident Level 1 employer. This work allows us to focus our attentions to specific protected groups, benefiting both students and staff. We further participate in ECU projects such as our “Increasing Diversity: Recruiting students from under-representative groups” project. Our Students’ Union is active in its support for equality, diversity and inclusion. This year the Students’ Union developed an Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) Strategy and an action plan to improve EDI across the Students’ Union and student-led groups. Representation of underrepresented groups is facilitated through student led forums such as BME forum, Disabled Students Forum and Student Parent Forum. The democratically elected Students’ Council also includes part time officers focusing on the needs of BME, Trans, Lesbian, Gay and Bisexual, Disabled and Women students. In The Union Plan 2016-2020, The Students’ Union has also committed to ‘Provide free membership and guaranteed help for student led groups supporting under represented or socially marginalised identities.’ We undertake regular monitoring, produce meaningful student equality and diversity information across the range of student lifecycle stages and make this available to staff to interrogate and inform their approaches. E&D Leads in Academic areas monitor performance, benchmark it and identify areas of under-representation or disparities in satisfaction, retention or attainment locally between groups of students due to protected characteristics and socio-economic background. Reports feed into Committee structures and periodic course reviews evaluate trends and discuss actions planned. As noted above, institutionally we have identified that we have an ethnicity attainment gap between our UK-domiciled White and BME students, which we are committed to reducing. A University-wide working group is enabling us to take this work forward. By engaging closely with the sector and other HEIs we keep abreast of latest research and findings and share best practice with other HEIs in steps taken to address attainment differences. We are pleased to have been selected to participate in the ECU’s Increasing diversity: recruiting students from underrepresented groups project, through which we will be exploring opportunities to transfer methodologies used to increase Muslim student participation to other underrepresented groups. We will continue to monitor closely and evaluate activities to consider the impact on protected equality groups, which will help inform our work and provide an evidence-base to set future actions. PROVISION OF INFORMATION TO PROSPECTIVE STUDENTS UCLan is committed to publishing clear and accessible information to existing and prospective students on the fees we intend to charge and the financial support we offer. We do this through the following channels: ‘Student life’ and ‘Money’ pages on our website Talks and publications at Open and Applicant Days, and all on or off campus events Pre-entry information mailings and electronic communications to applicants and enquirers Public engagement events Displaying leaflets and guidance information in public places Staff advising students at recruitment fairs and open days or working with under- represented groups through a wide range of outreach activities. We are also committed to providing timely, accurate information to UCAS and the Student Loans Company so they can populate their course databases in good time to inform applicants. CONSULTING WITH STUDENTS Student views are highly valued within UCLan and are sought on a wide variety of matters, through a range of mechanisms including representation on all senior committees, such as Academic Board and University Board, feedback at course and School level, and meetings between the SU and the Senior Executive Team. In compiling this Access Agreement the University has, as with all previous Agreements, consulted with the Students’ Union and has valued the SU’s membership of and contributions to the working group developing the Agreement from the beginning of the process. The Students’ Union has committed to facilitating regular consultations with defined student groups i.e. mature / care leavers, through setting up student-led forums and networks, with a view to using these groups as sounding boards for access initiatives linked directly to them.
