GuildHE, in partnership with Universities UK and the Committee of University Chairs (CUC), has developed a Franchise Governance Framework to help senior leaders in universities to spot and manage risk in franchised partnerships. Download / read the Framework

Franchised provision makes a great contribution to access to higher education across the UK.

Working with the UUK, CUC and sector representatives to develop the franchise governance framework has shown that the sector is taking note of the need to strengthen oversight around these kinds of partnerships so that they continue to offer quality education to students and provide value for public money.

We welcome the framework as it will help universities to assess their processes and improve oversight of this important part of UK higher education. – Dr Kate Wicklow, Director of Policy and Strategy, GuildHE
