    Integrated quality and enhancement review Summative review St Vincent College June 2010 SR104/2009 © The Quality Assurance Agency for Higher Education 2010 ISBN 978 1 84979 206 6 All QAA's publications are available on our website www.qaa.ac.uk Registered charity numbers 1062746 and SC037786 St Vincent College Preface The mission of the Quality Assurance Agency for Higher Education (QAA) is to safeguard the public interest in sound standards of higher education qualifications and to inform and encourage continual improvement in the management of the quality of higher education. As part of this mission, QAA undertakes reviews of higher education provision delivered in further education colleges. This process is known as Integrated quality and enhancement review (IQER). Purpose of IQER Higher education programmes delivered by further education colleges (colleges) lead to awards made by higher education institutions or Edexcel. The awarding bodies retain ultimate responsibility for maintaining the academic standards of their awards and assuring the quality of the students' learning opportunities. The purpose of IQER is, therefore, to safeguard the public interest in the academic standards and quality of higher education delivered in colleges. It achieves this by providing objective and independent information about the way in which colleges discharge their responsibilities within the context of their partnership agreements with awarding bodies. IQER focuses on three core themes: academic standards, quality of learning opportunities and public information. The IQER process IQER is a peer review process. It is divided into two complementary stages: Developmental engagement and Summative review. In accordance with the published method, colleges with less than 100 full-time equivalent students funded by the Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE) may elect not to take part in Developmental engagements, but all HEFCE-funded colleges will take part in Summative review.

Information, advice and guidance Learners at Wright Robinson College are entitled to independent and impartial careers information, advice and guidance on a full range of post 16 options. Learners will receive an individual careers guidance interview in school from either Mrs Pugh, who is our Careers Advisor fully trained to Level 6 or an external qualified adviser. Raising of the Participation Age Raising of the Participation Age From September 2015 the participation age was increased until the young person’s 18th birthday.
