What will Self-Regulation look like?
In the first year of operation the framework for self regulation will be developed around the following key areas of work:
- enhancing the sector’s capacity for self improvement
- responsiveness to the needs of learners and employers
- simplification of the regulatory landscape
- provider governance and codes of conduct under self regulation delivered through the representative bodies
As part of this work the Single Voice will establish effective relationships with:
- the Information Authority
- the Bureaucracy Reduction Group
- the Communications Practitioner Panel
- the FE Reputation Group
- National Learner Panel
- National Learner Survey
There are other aspects of the regulatory landscape that may be considered in further developing the framework for self regulation within the FE system. These may include matters relating to funding, qualifications and quality assurance. The Single Voice will determine how these or other regulatory matters are addressed in future phases of developing a more self regulating sector.
