Dear all,
Those of you who attended the AUA Planning Forum at the beginning of the month
will be aware that there was some discussion about the possibilities of
undertaking more professional development events under the auspices of AUA
(either specifically planning-focussed or with a planning input into a broader
event). The general view from the Forum was that this would be welcomed and I
wanted to canvas further within the community to see whether this was a
generally held view.
Additionally, it has become clear recently that the lack of a national
recognised 'Planners Group' means that there are occasions (e.g. when HESA is
reviewing its returns) when Planning does not have a voice around the table.
Clearly this is not only an issue in respect of the student returns but also in
terms of having someone involved who understands the interplay between the
different returns and the potential impacts on league tables etc. The view at
Planning Forum was that it would be useful to develop such a group.
I would be grateful for any comments people have, either to me directly or back
to the list.
Best wishes, Vikki
