Inducting education officers during the COVID-19 crisis - sparqs

Developed alongside a longer resource to support colleges induct education officers, this shorter briefing note was developed in the light of the COVID-19 crisis, designed to support both colleges and universities to induct their education officers in summer 2020, outlining ideas and suggestions for developing a successful induction for education officers during the crisis.
It is based on the principle of partnership between the students’ association and staff in management, quality and governance roles, who should all contribute to an effective induction programme.
The longer education officer induction resource for colleges is also available in the resource library. It was developed in response to sector demand, and was already near completion before the COVID crisis.
