Building on Best Practice for Public Sector Degree Apprenticeships Conference Agenda and Information Tuesday 11Th September 2018, 10:00 - 16:30 Building on Best Practice for Public Sector Degree Apprenticeships Conference agenda and information Tuesday 11th September 2018, 10:00 - 16:30 Welcome from Conference Chair Welcome to our Building on Best Practice for Public Sector Degree Apprenticeships conference at Middlesex University, and a special thank you to our guest speakers and workshop leaders for your valuable input. Today we aim to share with you the learning and best practice around the development and delivery of public sector apprenticeships, to help you and the organisations you work for, train the qualified, skilled workers needed to deliver essential public services. We are also launching a new report, Best Practice in Work-integrated Learning for Degree Apprenticeships, detailing outcomes from Middlesex University’s national project to develop apprenticeships for police officers, nurses, teachers and social workers. The project is being delivered by Middlesex together with public sector partners. When teachers, police officers, social workers and nurses all achieve professional status through degree apprenticeships, the perception of the role and purpose of apprenticeships will be transformed in the eyes of the public and employers. Middlesex currently offers: Police Constable, Registered Nurse, Nursing Associate, Healthcare Science Practitioner, Teacher, Construction Management, Chartered Manager, Digital Technology Solutions Professional, Business to Business Sales Professional and Academic Professional degree apprenticeship programmes. Other apprenticeships including Social Worker, Senior Leader and Accountancy Professional are in development and due to be launched by January 2019. We are delighted to be working alongside all of you here today to make sure these degree apprenticeships achieve the desired impact – a qualified, professional and skilled public sector workforce that will benefit London and the country. In this brochure you will find housekeeping information, biographies for each panel member and speaker, a conference schedule and summaries for each workshop. We hope you find this conference valuable as a contribution to the ongoing discussion about what constitutes best practice for degree apprenticeships.

  • London Weighting Claim for 2019 Submitted by UNISON, UCU and UNITE to Kings’ College London
    London Weighting Claim For 2019 Submitted by UNISON, UCU and UNITE to Kings’ College London 1. Introduction This LW claim is submitted by UNISON, UCU and UNITE on behalf of staff working for Kings’ College London. The claim is set at a level that we believe recognises the following key points: Major increases in the cost of living in London over recent years have significantly reduced the value of staff wages; Appropriate reward is needed to sustain the morale and productivity of staff working and living in London in their crucial role of delivering high quality services; Appropriate reward is needed for the increased workload and stress placed on staff against a background of uncertainty; Average LW settlements across the economy have been running ahead of those received by Kings’ College London staff over recent years, increasing the likelihood of retention problems in the long term; Kings’ College London is falling behind the rate recommended by Trust For London. 2. Summary of the Claim We are seeking a £1,500 increase on the LW from £3,500 as per August 2019 to £5,000. 3. Background to the claim Kings’ College University London Weighting (LW) was frozen at £2,323 from 1992 until a joint trade union campaign required KCL to address the issue in 2016. The Joint Trade Union claim in 2016 was for an im- mediate uplift in London Weighting to £4,000. After a series of negotiation meetings, KCL made a final offer that would see LW rise in stages (From 1st August 2016 it increased to £2,623 per year, and subsequently every 1st August of each consecutive year - 2017 to £2,923, 2018 to £3,223, and the final increment will be in 1st August 2019 increasing to £3,500).

  • BPP University Student Protection Plan
    Condition C3 – Student Protection Plan Provider’s name: BPP University Limited Provider’s UKPRN: 10031982 Legal address: BPP University, BPP House, 142-144 Uxbridge Road, London, W12 8AW Contact point for enquiries about this student protection plan: Sally-Ann Burnett – [email protected] Student Protection Plan for the period 2020/21 1. An assessment of the range of risks to the continuation of study for your students, how those risks may differ based on your students’ needs, characteristics and circumstances, and the likelihood that those risks will crystallise BPP University (BPPU) has assessed the range of risks to students’ continuation of study and these are summarised below: 1.1 Closure of BPPU BPPU has no intention of ceasing to operate. The risk that BPPU as a whole is unable to operate is considered very low. This is evidenced by the following: BPPU is financially sustainable and continues to be a going concern as demonstrated by its most recent audited financial statements, dated August 31st 2020; BPPU is cash generative, with a positive cash flow of £5.1m in the year ending 31st August 2020 and a balance at that date of £19.5m; BPPU forms part of the BPP Group (incorporated as BPP Holdings Ltd). Cashflow actuals and forecasts are monitored on a daily basis by the BPP Group’s central treasury function. The focus is on 18-week cash flow forecasts and updates are made to key stakeholders as required. The minimum UK cash position of the Group from Mar20 to Mar21 was £11.5m, which was in March20.

Some of the retrieved policies are unusually short (only 2 to 4 pages). Although the policy is exceptionally clear as to students’ IP ownership rights, it also includes IP policies for staff, academic visitors and other persons engaged with the university.
