Meetings - Conclusion of the Review

6.4.1 A private meeting of the Panel should follow the main meetings with the Department/programme team.  This should ensure that the Panel members are able to remain impartial in their final discussions during which preliminary recommendations for action may be set and commendable features of the Department/programme(s) recorded.  Any issues to be addressed at the College level may be referred for action to College level user fora and committees such as the Library User Forum or the Student Experience and Widening Participation Committee.

6.4.2 The draft outcomes of the final closed discussion should be reported back orally to the Department/programme team in a brief meeting at the end of the review.  Any feedback given at this stage will only be preliminary with the full recommendations and commendations made by the panel to be developed more fully in the review report.

6.4.3 The full review report should be presented to a meeting of the TQEC where the Committee should ratify any follow up action recommended by the Panel.  At the same time, the School Teaching and Quality Enhancement Committee should give full consideration to the report at the School level.

6.4.4 The Department/programme team should be asked to provide a written response and action plan within the timescale to the recommendations for action set by the Panel.  This should be submitted to the Chair of the Panel for formal consideration and TQEC for information and any further action that may be required should be requested. 

6.4.5 After each year's schedule of reviews has been concluded, the views of the Panel members and the Department/programme teams should be sought by the Quality Enhancement and Validation section of Registry Services on the benefits they may have experienced as a result of their involvement in the review process using the standard feedback form provided (see web address below).  Their views should also be sought on how the procedure for internal review might be improved and if there are any criticisms of the way that the process has been carried out.  The views of the external subject specialist should also be sought on conclusion of each event using the standard feedback form provided (http://www.bbk.ac.uk/qa/internal/meetingsconclusion).
