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
