Review, EQAL: FdSc Hospitality Management Existing partners: South Cheshire College and Hopwood Hall College Review, EQAL: FdA Spa Management Existing Partner: Trafford College A2 Home Department/School Food and Tourism Management A3 Home Faculty or Hollings Faculty Supporting Faculty A4 Type of Proposal Periodic Review / EQAL A5 Date of Standing Panel 28 June 2012 PARM/12/039 A6 Objectives of Event To ensure that the design, academic standards and quality of learning opportunities of the existing and modified programmes, given strategic approval on 26 March 2012 (PARM/12/039) and as outlined in 7 below, remain appropriate to the awards to which the programmes lead and are informed by reference to institutional regulations and policies, national benchmarks and relevant professional and employment demands. Furthermore, to ensure that the relevant programmes, as modified, comply with the revised curriculum structure for undergraduate programmes of the University; the relevant subject benchmark statements have been mapped to the revised units; the programmes and unit learning outcomes have been mapped to assessments; and that the University’s employability and sustainability outcomes have been mapped across the programme. A7 Outline of Proposal/Development(s) The Food and Tourism Management Department within Hollings Faculty had developed four foundation degrees over the previous five years. These programmes had been validated by the University to be delivered across a number of FE Partner Colleges. The suite of programmes had been designed for students wishing to enter into management careers in the Events, Tourism, Hospitality or Spa sectors. A strong vocational element had also been embedded into each programme. The suite of programmes and partners had grown considerably in recent years to include four programmes and seven potential partner colleges. Furthermore, the partner colleges shared many of the core units that are common to the four courses offered by the Food and Tourism Management Department. In addition, the partner colleges formed part of the same standardisation process, and fed into a central exam board linked to a common External Examiner. Each programme had, however, a separate programme specification. The proposal being presented to the Panel sought to: create one programme specification under which each of the programmes would sit, entitled “Hollings Foundation Degree Network”; align the FdA Events Management and FdA Travel and Tourism Management programme to the University’s EQAL structure; add Warrington Collegiate to the Foundation Degree Network to deliver the FdA Events Management and FdA Travel and Tourism Management programmes; expand delivery of the FdA Events Management programme to include existing validated partners South Cheshire College and Macclesfield College. Warrington Collegiate had been approved as a partner of the University in March 2012. A8 Conduct of the Event and Panel Membership The Standing Panel meeting was held on the 28th June 2012. The panel included the following internal members: Prof Jois Stansfield (Chair) Mrs Jackie Jones (FADC Representative) Ms Bairbre Walsh (Panel Secretary) The panel included the following external member appointed by the Head of Centre for Academic Standards & Quality Enhancement: PARM/12/039 Ms Mary Hulford (Director of Quality Improvement, Staffordshire University) The Panel invited the following members of the Programme Team to speak to the proposal: Mr Mike Battye (HE Development Manager, Cheshire HE Consortium) Ms Jackie Shaw (HE Manager, Macclesfield College) Mr Shaun Litler (MMU Link Tutor) Ms Emma Whittaker (MMU Link Tutor) Mr Edward Bielinski (MMU Link Tutor) Mr Wai Ng (Tutor, South Cheshire College) Ms Kaye Thomas (Warrington Collegiate) Ms Steph Hodge (HE Course Leader, Warrington Collegiate) Mr Mark Harris (Director of HE, Warrington Collegiate) Ms Cheryl Clements (Course Leader, FdA Event Management, The Manchester College) A9 Documentary Evidence Base Strategic Approval Form and Strategic Approval signoff Course Development Plan Programme Specification including appendices Unit Specifications External Examiner comments and Programme Team response Report on Student Meetings Human Resource Report Physical Resource Report Summary CVs of staff teaching on the programme A11 Conclusions The Panel concluded that the intended learning outcomes of the programmes were being achieved by students, that the standards of the University’s awards were being maintained and that the programmes as modified remain current and valid in the light of developing knowledge in the discipline, practice in their operation and developments in teaching and learning. The Panel also concluded that the revised programme structure at the levels under consideration, complied with the University’s revised curriculum structure for undergraduate programmes; that the relevant benchmark statements had been applied to the unit specifications; that the programme learning outcomes had been appropriately mapped to assessment within the units; and that the University’s employability and sustainability outcomes had been mapped across the programme. A12 Summary of Outcome PARM/12/039 The Panel recommended: Continued approval (as modified to aligned with the University’s revised curriculum structure for undergraduate programmes, to include delivery of FdA Travel and Tourism Management at Warrington Collegiate College, and FdA Events Management at Warrington Collegiate College, South Cheshire College and Macclesfield College, and to create one programme specification entitled ‘Hollings Foundation Degree Network, under which each of the four award titles will sit, with effect from September, subject to fulfilment of the 2 conditions in Section A13 below. A full list of the award titles approved may be found in section 2 and 4 of the updated programme specification. A full list of changes made as part of this Review/Modification event may be found in Appendix 1 of this report. A13 Condition(s) of Approval The following condition(s) of approval must be fulfilled before the programme/modified programme may commence: 1. Create specific final and interim learning outcomes for each award within the Foundation Degree Network. 2. Within unit specifications, revise the ‘Assessment Criteria for Unit/Elements of Assessment’ sections with a view to removing specific marking breakdowns for individual assessments. (This detail can be added to the student handbook if so desired). This is also applicable to those units already in approval, provided that the essential elements of assessment remain unchanged. 3. Ensure Formal Agreements are revised where appropriate. A14 Deadline(s) for Fulfilment of Condition(s) 19 July 2012 A15 Recommendations The Programme Team must consider and address explicitly the following recommendation(s) in the course of its continuous monitoring processes: 1. Within each unit specification, indicate where formative assessment is employed. 2. Fully articulate how employer engagement takes place, and the manner in which it benefits the curriculum and its future development. 3. Make explicit within unit handbooks how work-based learning is managed within the curriculum. 4. Revisit unit specifications to ensure currency of learning resources.

    Appendix 4 Detailed proposals for each Ward – organised by Local Area Partnership (LAP) Proposed Wards within the Knutsford Local Area Partnership Knutsford Local Area Partnership (LAP) is situated towards the north-west of Cheshire East, and borders Wilmslow to the north-east, Macclesfield to the south-east and Congleton to the south. The M6 and M56 motorways pass through this LAP. Hourly train services link Knutsford, Plumley and Mobberley to Chester and Manchester, while in the east of this LAP hourly trains link Chelford with Crewe and Manchester. The town of Knutsford was the model for Elizabeth Gaskell's novel Cranford and scenes from the George C. Scott film Patton were filmed in the centre of Knutsford, in front of the old Town Hall. Barclays Bank employs thousands of people in IT and staff support functions at Radbroke Hall, just outside the town of Knutsford. Knutsford is home to numerous sporting teams such as Knutsford Hockey Club, Knutsford Cricket Club, Knutsford Rugby Club and Knutsford Football Club. Attractions include Tatton Park, home of the RHS Flower show, the stately homes Arley Hall, Tabley House and Peover Hall, and the Cuckooland Museum of cuckoo clocks. In detail, the proposals are: Knutsford is a historic, self-contained urban community with established extents and comprises the former County Ward of Knutsford, containing 7 polling districts. The Parish of Knutsford also mirrors the boundary of this proposal. Knutsford Town is surrounded by Green Belt which covers 58% of this proposed division. The proposed ward has excellent communications by road, motorway and rail and is bounded to the north by Tatton Park and to the east by Birkin Brook.

  • North West Introduction the North West Has an Area of Around 14,100 Km2 and a Population of Almost 6.9 Million
    North West Introduction The North West has an area of around 14,100 km2 and a population of almost 6.9 million. The metropolitan areas of Greater Manchester and Merseyside are the most significant centres of population; other major urban areas include Liverpool, Blackpool, Blackburn, Preston, Chester and Carlisle. The population density is 490 people per km2, making the North West the most densely populated region outside London. This population is largely concentrated in the southern half of the region; Cumbria in the north has just 24 people per km2. The economy The economic output of the North West is almost £119 billion, which represents 13 per cent of the total UK gross value added (GVA), the third largest of the nine English regions. The region is very varied economically: most of its wealth is created in the heavily populated southern areas. The unemployment rate stood at 7.5 per cent in the fourth quarter of 2010, compared with the UK rate of 7.9 per cent. The North West made the highest contribution to the UK’s manufacturing industry GVA, 13 per cent of the total in 2008. It was responsible for 39 per cent of the UK’s GVA from the manufacture of coke, refined petroleum products and nuclear fuel, and 21 per cent of UK manufacture of chemicals, chemical products and man-made fibres. It is also one of the main contributors to food products, beverages, tobacco and transport equipment manufacture. Gross disposable household income (GDHI) of North West residents was one of the lowest in the country, at £13,800 per head.

Other major urban areas are Liverpool, Blackpool, Blackburn, Preston, Chester and Carlisle. The population density is 477 people per km2, making the North-West the most densely populated region outside London. However, the population is largely concentrated in the southern half of the region. Cumbria, by contrast, has the third lowest population density of any English county. Economic development The economic output of the North-West is around £78 billion, which is 10 per cent of the total UK GDP. The region is very varied economically, with most of its wealth created in the heavily populated southern areas. Important manufacturing sectors for employment and wealth creation are chemicals, textiles and vehicle engineering. Unemployment in the region is 5.9 per cent, compared with the UK average of 5.4 per cent. There is considerable divergence in economic prosperity within the region. Cheshire has an above average GDP, while Merseyside ranks as one of the poorest areas in the UK. The total income of higher education institutions in the region is around £1,400 million per year. Higher education provision There are 15 higher education institutions in the North-West: eight universities and seven higher education colleges.
