Hi colleagues
More information about the the courses which Anna has mentioned and the project they come from can be found here: https://www.heacademy.ac.uk/hefce-degree-standards Obviously HEA Fellowship is not about degree standards, but the principles and problems in relation to standards are very similar.
Best wishes
Nicola
