Quality: Key Questions for Governors

In carrying out their strategic responsibilities in relation to quality, governors may need to address a number of key questions:

What is our institution's quality policy?
What use does the institution make of external benchmarks?
How does quality and how do standards of attainment match up with those of competitors and partners (as judged by performance and statistical indicators such as quality judgements, degree results and employability indicators)?
What are the outcomes of accreditation and review processes?
How do particular groups of students perform, and how does this relate to key strategic areas?
How is quality enhanced and how are academic standards maintained or raised?
Are reports on quality matters regularly reported to governors?
