This rolling series of one-day seminars explores the issues which most often cause colleges to fail accreditation or re-accreditation. We have secured the services of Mr Robin Laidlaw, Prof Steve Bristow and Dr Edward Ferrett to conduct the seminars, drawing on their extensive experience of inspecting colleges for the BAC and upon their specialist knowledge.

I hope that you or one of your senior colleagues will take this chance to attend what promise to be very useful and informative seminars. Since places are limited to 20 by the capacity of the Council Room, I would urge you to book early. Although places will be allocated on a first come, first served basis, they will be limited to one place per college to encourage as large a number of colleges as possible to be represented.
