Assurance of quality of documentation for the Periodic Review of [name of course/cluster/subject]on [date]

I can confirm that the documentation for the Periodic Review meeting has been checked and proof-read to ensure that:

1. It is formatted and presented to a consistent professional standard that is fit for publication and or dissemination to the Panel.
2. The most up to date AQU templates and guidance have been used.
3. The courses presented take account of all relevant external benchmarks, including the FHEQ, subject Benchmark Statement and other relevant reference points, together with the University Curriculum Design Policy and have been updated to ensure currency.
4. All module specifications are on the most up to date template and have been reviewed for accuracy in relation to all matters, including teaching hours and assessment requirements. They include links to the most current reading lists.
5. The Evaluation and Development Document (including a list of current staff as an Annexe) is appropriately evaluative, sets out a clear enhancement plan and is aligned with the annual evaluation process. This has been completed and is formatted and presented to a consistent professional standard, appropriate for dissemination to the Panel.
6. The relevant current Programme Specification/s have been updated as necessary using the latest AQU programme specification templates and uploaded to Blackboard.
7. All the required supporting documentation has been checked and uploaded to Blackboard by the Course Team including where appropriate:

• Current Course Handbook/s (including Module Specifications and relevant course or institute policies)
• Statistical digest from Data Management Unit
• Annual Evaluation reports with all relevant annexes including External Examiner reports relating to activity for the previous two years
• A sample of (approx. 5 or 6) module outlines for the current academic year
• Previous periodic review report and response (where applicable)
• Overview of changes made to the awards since approval or last review through IQC or reapproval process
• ILS statement on resources (for collaborative courses)
• Current work-based learning, placement, mentor guides where appropriate
• Completed work based and placement learning audit record(where relevant)
• Reports from any PSRB visits or other external quality reports
• In the case of flexible and distributed learning (e.g. delivery predominantly ‘at a distance’/via online learning technologies) a document indicating how the course meets the UW Quality standards for FDL is required.
• UWSS and NSS results and student comments, and Destination of Leavers statistics (where available)

I confirm that the documentation can now be circulated by AQU to the Panel for the Periodic Review meeting.
