We absolutely all need to take the time to fill this out! I know it's a busy time of the year but this is our chance to be heard! Might be a good thing to chat about in a department meeting, I know I'll definitely be talking to colleagues about it.
And we’re off!
The call for evidence for the curriculum and assessment review is now open, and will be for 8 weeks.
As @beckyfrancis.bsky.social says, this is the chance for a national conversation. Excited to hear the diverse views, insights and expertise of all.
