In advance of participating in the online evidence session on Friday 15 May, we hope that this written submission will provide helpful background and an overview of the actions that SFC has been taking during these challenging times. SFC is the national, strategic body that funds further and higher education, and research, in Scotland. Our main statutory duties and powers come from the Further and Higher Education (Scotland) Act 2005. We have two core statutory functions: to secure the coherent provision by post-16 education bodies of high quality and fundable further and higher education; and to secure the undertaking of research. Universities, colleges and small specialist institutions that receive public funds from us must meet the terms and conditions set out in accepted offers of grant; deliver Outcome Agreements that we agree every year with funded bodies; and comply with a Financial Memorandum that covers governance and financial sustainability requirements. SFC is the main statistical authority for further education in Scotland, and collects and publishes information to evaluate progress against national and local targets. We also fulfil key advisory functions in providing information, advice and assistance to Scottish Ministers. The Covid-19 crisis presents a unique and significant external shock to universities in Scotland, with critical implications for colleges too.

We published an interim report in June, Building Scotland’s Green Recovery. Our plan for Scotland’s Green Recovery from the COVID-19 crisis featured 12 big ideas to respond to the climate emergency with the same urgency as the public health emergency. This new report builds on that work and looks beyond the immediate crisis towards the horizon of 2045 and asks: What are the Clean Growth opportunities for Scotland of the transition to Net Zero – and how can we maximise them? We have engaged with businesses, organisations, experts and stakeholders across all sectors and all geographies of the Scottish economy.

    Scottish Student Sport Impact Assessment by Best and Randak Associates for Scottish Student Sport Scottish Funding Council sportscotland © Best and Randak Associates [email protected] October 2016 Introduction Scottish Student Sport (SSS) commissioned Best and Randak Associates to prepare an impact assessment report on behalf of the organisation and its main funding partners, sportscotland and the Scottish Funding Council. The overall objective was to undertake an impact assessment highlighting the success or otherwise over the past two years (April 2014 to mid-2016) of SSS’s current strategy in meeting its stated aims and the expectations of funding partners. The detailed aims were to critically assess: the progress of SSS against its stated aims and the conditions of investment from funding partners; the impact of its regional delivery, in terms of competitions, development, and member support; and the profile of SSS and its relationships with other agencies across education and sport. This document comprises a summary drawn together from the full Best and Randak report, to be published on the SSS website by the end of October. Methodology Following discussions with SSS, the following methods were used to obtain the information and views needed to meet the objectives of the review: 1 A trawl of published and unpublished documents from SSS itself; its members; its partners including SGBs, BUCS, sportscotland and the SFC. 2 A substantial questionnaire to sports-related staff, elected students and volunteers - gleaning 64 responses with valuable quantitative and qualitative information. 3 A short email questionnaire to a limited number of other organisations with links to SSS, resulting in five responses.
