The Work of the Office for Students Share this 29 Apr 2023 Brunel University submitted written evidence to the UK Parliament Industry and Regulators committee, responding to their call for evidence on The work of the Office for Students in March 2023. Summary of evidence and recommendations: There is a lack of clarity in respect of the priorities of the OfS. There is concern about the potential for excessive power being exercised by the Chief Executive of the OfS. There is a lack of clarity in respect of the future of quality assurance as a result of the Quality Assurance Agency for Higher Education’s decision not to continue as the OfS’ Designated Quality Body. Consideration should be given to measuring added value when assessing value for money for students. The costs of compliance and responding to OfS consultations are disproportionate. The OfS should adopt the widely accepted principles of good regulatory practice, working in partnership with the sector. Read the full written evidence submission here April 2023
