Evidence based Access Agreements: target setting, evidence building, monitoring and evaluation"
Friday 22 March 2013
On the 12th March the national conference Evidence based Access Agreements: target setting, evidence building, monitoring and evaluation to support the development of the 2014/15 OFFA access agreements took place at the Woburn House conference centre in central London. Jointly organised and sponsored by Action on Access, Universities UK and the Office for Fair Access this first conference focused on the development of the evidence base for access agreements and proved to be a great success and was massively oversubscribed.
Plenary contributions were provided by Professor Les Ebdon, Director of OFFA, Professor John Storan, Director of Action on Access and Continuum UEL, Dr Viv Wylie, Action on Access and Phil Dent, Chief Executive, The Progression Trust as well as three excellent workshop sessions led by Mike Thompson, West Midlands Aimhigher, Sharon Smith, Research Manager, Kent and Medway Progression Federation, Penelope Griffin and Head of Widening Participation, University of Nottingham. Technical panel sessions included inputs from HEFCE, OFFA, UCAS and SOAS representatives. Full reports from the conference and workshop sessions is available here
Regretfully, in the light of feedback, we have cancelled 'Collaborating in the new environment', the Action on Access/UUK/Offa Collaboration Conference planned for March 22nd. It may be rescheduled for a later date, but it is clear that for now WP practitioners just want to focus on putting together their Access Agreements."
