The University’s Outreach Work Sample Clauses

The University’s Outreach Work. In the context of this Agreement ‘outreach work’ refers to a wide range of University activities that are undertaken with the aim of raising aspirations and attainment, encouraging those from groups that are under-represented to apply to join higher education programmes of study and supporting the endeavours of those who actually do so. Hence, it also includes activities undertaken throughout the student life cycle aimed at increasing the likelihood that students from under-represented groups will be more attracted to engaging with higher education and ultimately be successful. The University has a long-standing and very effective record of participation in outreach activities. These take the form of liaison work with schools and colleges, collaborative arrangements with Further Education college providers, pre-entry support and guidance, curriculum enhancement activities, open and visit days, mentoring, University summer schools and many other initiatives.

The University has approved and commenced implementation across the institution of a new widening participation strategy. Development of the strategy included an assessment of the previous OFFA Agreement. It became clear that its milestones did not allow us to measure progress against the aims set in HEFCE’s own strategic plan. Whilst we might report on increasing numbers of students from minority ethnic backgrounds, for instance, the data is simply not sufficiently fine-grained to show any real distinctions in terms of widening access. We have therefore clarified the objectives in the new strategy in relation to targeting, measurement and evaluation so that they align more closely to government aims for widening access. We are currently in the process of developing tools to allow us to track these. We have revised the milestones in this year Agreement to reflect this shift: whilst we include still those in the former Agreement, we have added others which relate to targets in our new WP strategy. We believe this will be a more realistic indication of our progress. In some of these instances, the figures indicated will be the base-line for future reporting, in others we will be able to show comparisons with previous years.
