Programmes and Workshops
Access and Participation Plan workshops
GuildHE, working with Inclusion Revolution, has developed a bespoke programme aimed at enabling leaders to deliver the strategic oversight, stakeholder management and decision-making required to build an impactful, institutionally-relevant and robust Access and Participation Plan.
Aspiring Governance Professionals
We have secured a discount for GuildHE members to undertake the AHEP Aspiring Governance Professionals Programme. This comprehensive 3-day programme is designed to equip new, aspiring and developing HE governance professionals with the essential knowledge and skills needed to succeed. The programme combines in-person and online sessions that deliver practical insights, explore best practices and develop understanding of the HE governance landscape.
Data Leadership
We've partnered with sector data phenom Andy Youell to offer a programme to support and grow your staff's data capabilities, including how data is managed and used. These sessions are aimed at senior leaders with responsibilities for data operations, data analysis or external reporting. They are ongoing throughout the year.

We offer ongoing support to members seeking degree awarding powers at all levels. We convene sector experts for guidance, offer 1:1 support and connect you to peers who have recent experience of different stages of the process, including those who've recently achieved those powers.

This programme supports members to implement E6 (OFS's new Condition of Registration on Harassment and Sexual Misconduct) and to understand what it means to comply with this new condition. It includes bespoke webinars from sector experts, community of practice sessions, peer support and sharing of guidance and adopted practice.
