Abstract

Reviews key elements of the Joint Planning Group’s proposals for new quality assurance arrangements. Identifies some challenges, prospects and opportunities for institutions arising in the context of the proposed arrangements. Notes the Joint Planning Group’s emphasis on partnership and argues that a focus on self‐regulation may provide the basis of a way forward for future development for the sector, the new quality agency and those who contract with it.
