z_ARCHIVED: ELIR Cycle 4 Practice Guide - sparqs

AVAILABLE FOR HISTORICAL REFERENCE ONLY - NOT CURRENT GUIDANCE

To support meaningful student engagement throughout the ELIR (Enhancement-led Institutional Review) process, sparqs produced an ELIR Cycle 4 practice guide for students' association reps and staff.  It provided context and background to the process and made suggestions of what to do at each stage of the process. These tips were built on good practice in the sector and the experience of sparqs and QAA Scotland. They were particularly relevant to students’ association representatives and staff but were useful to consider for anyone involved in the review.

ELIR cycle 4 ran between 2017-2022 and more details about the process, and definitive guidance, could be found in QAA Scotland’s ELIR 4 Handbook.  QAA Scotland also published ‘Preparing for Enhancement-led Institutional Review’ which provided advice and guidance for institutions on how to approach ELIR. 

The sparqs practice guide was designed to complement these QAA publications.

From 2022-24 there was interim SFC guidance until the new tertiary quality arrangements guidance was published in July 2024.
