<p>The government has asked the Office for Students to set up an Evidence and Impact
Exchange to help transform our understanding of what works in driving access and successful
participation among disadvantaged and underrepresented students. The new centre, known
as the Centre for Transforming Access and Student Outcomes (TASO) in higher education
(HE), is an affiliate what works centre, and part of the UK government’s what works
movement.</p><p> </p><p>TASO will commission, share and support the take-up of evidence
on ‘what works’ to improve access and participation in HE in different settings and
for different groups of students, including Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic students.
It will act as a central hub for a wide variety of evidence, helping to ensure that
HE spend to widen access and participation by under-represented and disadvantaged
students has as big an impact as possible.</p><p> </p><p>TASO has already made its
first call for evidence, inviting providers to submit examples of impact evaluation
across the student life-cycle.</p><p> </p>
