A new GuildHE is on the way

We're putting the final touches to a new website and an enriched offer for our members; with new resources, policy briefings and a fresh take on the needs of vocational and technical higher education provision.

To be a part of our journey:

In our response to the recent OfS consultation on payment of fees for investigations GuildHE emphasises that universities and colleges can only agree to pay for investigations when they have a bit more information.

We believe that there should be transparent criteria for starting an investigation, which should be agreed by a body that did not gather the evidence, and a clear indication of the cost, method and time an investigation will take.

It is also important that there is a focused scope for the investigation and that providers only pay for the part of the investigation that identified the breach. This will prevent unfocused investigations that are incentivised to identify minor breaches to cover the costs of the whole investigation.
