Publication and changes
The accreditation and membership requirements are published as framework version 1.2. The framework sets out the evidence required and how each area is assessed.
Future revisions will include a dated change record, explanation and transition arrangements. An institution will be assessed against the version agreed when its review scope is confirmed. Material changes will be communicated directly to affected institutions.
