As a result of the government‘s recent HE reforms, all HE providers on the HE Regulator’s register, the Office for Students (OfS), are required to join the OIA.</p><p>The government will continue to work closely with partners, including Universities UK and the OfS, to drive progress on matters of racial harassment in HE.</p> answering member constituency Kingswood answering member printed Chris Skidmore question first answered 28/10/2019 13:57:49 answering member 4021 label Biography information for Chris Skidmore
