As more teams engage with the OfS self-assessment tool its value in supporting evaluation as part of Access and Participation Plans (APPs) becomes increasingly clear. Combined with the NERUPI Framework, a powerful approach to planning and evaluating meaningful interventions can be achieved to underpin a process of continuous improvement.

At this largely practical half-day session we considered the pros and cons of the self-assessment tool and discussed how it could be combined with the NERUPI Framework. Working in groups participants explored how using the self-assessment tool and NERUPI Framework could enhance their APPs and monitoring returns.

Speakers included:

• Joanne Moore, Educational Consultant and lead researcher and developer for the OfS Self-Assessment Tool
• Annette Hayton, Senior Research Fellow, University of Bath and NERUPI Convenor

Participants:

• Found out more about the OfS Self-Assessment tool and the NERUPI Framework
• Saw how NERUPI members have used NERUPI OfS Self-Assessment tool
• Gained an understanding of how the OfS Self-Assessment tool can be used with the NERUPI Framework
• Explored ways of incorporating the OfS Self-Assessment tool and the NERUPI Framework into their APPs and monitoring returns.
