1 The Manchester College The Manchester College s quality strategy is driven by the passion to create and embed a culture which is focused on providing high quality learning opportunities in a supportive environment and which responds to the educational and training needs of each learner. This quality culture is supported by each individual member of the college who is part of our network of curriculum, service and management teams. It will thrive as every member of staff accepts personal responsibility for the quality of their own area.

One team we collaborate, respect each other and contribute to team goals. Always improving we are forward-thinking, we innovate and take ownership. Can do we are positive, inclusive, flexible and proactive. Sustainable we take a long-term view, environmentally, financially and socially. 1 Policy statement The Manchester College is committed to quality and improving the student s learning experience. The college s approach to quality is based on continuous improvement. It starts with the generation of strategic objectives that reflect the college s mission statement. These objectives take into account the external environment in which we function and define the processes we need for day-to-day operations. Standards are set to measure these processes and procedures are designed to help them operate consistently. These procedures are regularly monitored and evaluated to identify problems, for which corrective actions are implemented, monitored and reviewed. Continual improvement is achieved by raising standards as performance targets are reached and TMC
3 reviewing objectives accordingly. Quality policy The college s commitment to quality and customer service extends to all learners, customers and clients. Every member of staff is responsible for quality. The senior managers and the members of the corporation (governing body) recognise their roles in continuous improvement of the college and fully support the principles of quality management. Each employee is a customer for work done by other staff, with a right to expect responsibility to contribute work of a high calibre. good work from others and a Sustained quality excellence requires continuous improvement. This means, regardless of how good present performance may be, it can always be improved. Quality improvement will be applied to every facet of the college s work in order to constantly review and improve the services it provides. Quality will be achieved by preventing problems rather than by detecting and correcting them after they occur. Quality assurance Quality assurance is putting systems into place to ensure that high standards are achieved and embedded. This is achieved through the following: key college procedures such as benchmarking and target setting lesson observations and internal curriculum performance monitoring reviews individual performance review quality standards quality management performance indicators feedback from learners and clients. 2 Quality management The management of quality will be through the committee structure the Board of Governors curriculum teams performance monitoring processes quality control systems the Quality Team (QT) and/or Quality Improvement Groups (QIGs) in the case of widely dispersed provision responding to feedback from learners and clients. Over time the Quality team will ensure an appropriate degree of consistency in the application of quality assurance procedures and the provision of quality improvement strategies across the different strands of the College s business. Equally, these procedures and strategies will be adapted to best meet different internal or external requirements of particular strands of work, for example the requirements of QAA in relation to higher education or the different inspection framework which applies to early years provision. TMC
4 2.1 Quality improvement The college has a documented quality system. The college operates campuses across Manchester and through outreach: offender learning, work-based learning, and professional training contractsand partnerships in a variety of other locations across the UK. It is essential therefore to have documented policies and procedures, produced with the involvement of staff, to ensure common standards and practice. The Quality Team is responsible for working with staff to produce procedures in common format. It is essential that, in addition to strong and diverse quality assurance procedures, sufficient time and attention is devoted to the development and continual evaluation of a wide range of quality improvement strategies. As a college which ultimately aspires to be outstanding in every respect, whilst effective quality assurance procedures are critical to identifying areas for improvement and helping to target improvements, the bulk of quality-related work should take the form of quality improvement initiatives, including the provision of highly effective CPD for all staff. 2.2 Governors and quality assurance Governors, primarily via the Quality sub-committee of the Corporation, will receive regular reports on the college s performance and feedback from learners and clients. The Quality Committee will monitor these reports in depth. They will monitor Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) on a regular basis through the governor Dashboard. They will also review and monitor quality reports from the College s various activities, so that governors are fully apprised of the key outcomes of quality assurance arrangements and the forms of quality improvement being used to raise standards and secure further improvements for learners and clients. Each year governors will approve the College Self- Assessment Report (SAR) and monitor the Quality Improvement Plan (QIP) and other key quality action plans. Governors will complete an annual self-assessment report of their own performance and monitor their action plan at agreed meetings. 2.3 Self-assessment Self-assessment will continue to be used as a formal review and evaluation of our performance to check that we are meeting the needs of our learners and customers and achieving our targets. Every aspect of the college s work can always improve; therefore identifying areas for improvement is an opportunity to further this aim. It is just as important to build on strengths. Everyone is involved and the process is only beneficial if staff are self-critical, open and rigorous in their judgements about strengths that are significantly above appropriate benchmarks. Areas for improvement are those that are below what is expected from our own standards. Although it is no longer a requirement of the funding contract, the College will continue to make our self- assessment reports available on the Provider Gateway. 2.4 Learner and customer feedback Surveys with learners are carried out each year at appropriate stages of the learner journey and the results are compared to national benchmarks. Results of these surveys will inform course reviews, college management and governor reports. Further client surveys will be carried out at appropriate intervals. TMC
5 Learner focus groups and reporting from the Student Council will also inform actions to improve the overall provision. Learner representatives are actively engaged with quality through their involvement in focus groups and course review. Learner and customer feedback will be used to bring improvement and change to the services offered by the college. The college will explore the introduction of full-time sabbatical Student Union officers to enhance learner feedback. 2.5 Complaints The college has an effective system for logging and monitoring complaints. Complaints are seen as opportunities for improvement. The process of how complaints can be made is available to all learners and clients and is distributed during induction. Progress on complaints and complaint trends are constantly monitored and regular reports are produced for the Quality Team, senior managers, the Executive Team and the Board of Governors. 3 The Quality Cycle The quality process involves a cycle of activities of which self-assessment and action planning are major parts. The key elements are: continuously developing the range and effectiveness of college quality assurance systems and tools with the involvement of staff and learners identifying priorities at different levels of the college, informed by the Strategic Plan establishing performance indicators/targets against which provision is judged, bearing in mind those used externally, by Ofsted, SFA, EFA, QAA, and the HMIP Expectations Framework collecting and monitoring data in order to measure performance identifying areas of strength and areas for improvement at curriculum team level and service team level, linked to the Common Inspection Framework, the Expectations Framework for custodial provision, and the college s strategic objectives implementing and monitoring quality improvement plans and team development plans issuing reports on the results of monitoring and quality issues for the SMT, governors, SFA, EFA and also to others (subject to Data Protection Act requirements and the protection of staff and learners interests) encouraging and developing third party assessment of service activity and performance through appropriate audit and observation techniques, seeking external validation or accreditation where appropriate encouraging continuous updating and skills development of all staff, and in particular use quality improvement strategies to drive up standards and promote outstanding teaching and learning. 4 Implementation 4.1 All staff All staff must take part in college training and professional development in order to drive up standards TMC
6 follow college policies and procedures relating to their work. 4.2 Senior managers Senior managers must: reflect the ambition of the organisation to provide excellence in education and training identify the strategic priorities for the college in response to internal and external demands and initiatives manage the annual quality cycle in their areas help to validate the curriculum/service area SARs and contribute to the college s SAR and QIP ensure all improvement plans are properly monitored encourage and develop third party assessment of activities and performance monitor their managers compliance with quality issues oversee the standard of staff performance in their area, ensuring appropriate staff development and induction respond promptly to feedback regarding their provision, providing reinforcement regarding positive feedback and initiating and monitoring responses to negative feedback oversee the maintenance of up-to-date college policies, strategies and procedures ensure that all their managers and staff comply with policies and procedures. 4.3 Curriculum managers Curriculum managers must: lead the drive in their areas for curriculum relevance and best practice teaching, learning, and assessment develop high quality curriculum SARs and QIPs ensure courses are robustly reviewed and oversee the responses to underperforming courses being identified respond rapidly to any Notice to Improve (NTI) being imposed agree college targets in relation to teaching and learning in the light of strategic priorities communicate targets to college staff contribute to the development and review college policies and associated procedures, guidelines and strategies be fully engaged in the performance monitoring and review process. 4.4 Teachers/Course teams Teachers/course teams are responsible for: ensuring their own continuing professional development by reflecting on and improving their own performance completing course reviews and appropriate areas of the curriculum SAR, to ensure the continuous improvement of their own curriculum TMC
