Liason with External QA Agencies

The management group will be responsible for liasing with external agencies such as the TTA, OHMCI and the NoF for quality assurance issues.

Where teachers also undergo accreditation, the accrediting body will produce quality assurance data which will be considered by the management team.

It will be a function of a designated person on the steering group to report the co-ordinated finding of these agencies at steering group meeting, where quality will remain a standing agenda item throughout the lifetime of the programme.

It is also envisaged that at key points in the delivery of the project - for example at the end of each twelve months of delivery - an external agency such as TTA, OHMCI or FEDA will be commissioned to undertake an objective evaluation of the whole operation of the project.
