BAC Thematic Review

BAC has undertaken the first thematic review of inspections conducted under the Independent Higher Education scheme between 2015 – 2018. The review identified trends within the inspection reports which include areas requiring improvements (e.g. not meeting BAC standards) and identified areas of strength or good practice.  The review focused on two inspection areas; General Academic Management and Administration and Quality Management Assurance and Enhancement.

With the needs of our providers and our strategic priorities in mind, we wanted to strengthen the message we give about us and what we do. We wanted to be able to explain clearly what it means to be accredited by us, no matter which accreditation scheme we use.
