Providers often deliver higher education courses in partnership with a wide range of organisations: awarding bodies, other education providers, non-academic organisations, and employers.

 

These resources support members to effectively manage and oversee partnership arrangements, focusing on particular topic areas such as risk, validating partners and franchised partners.

Managing risk in partnerships


Many of our members work in partnership with other providers to offer or receive validation services; these partnerships are mutually beneficial but come with challenges for both the validator and the validated/franchise partner.


Our webinar series focused on supporting providers to manage and mitigate risk in UK partnerships – first from the perspective of validating institutions, then for institutions with validated or franchised provision.
