Requirements on Alternative Providers designated for student support are set out in “Specific Course Designation for Alternative Providers of Higher Education - Guidance for Providers: Criteria and Conditions and Annual Re-Designation” on gov.uk. Revised guidance detailing requirements for the 2016/17 academic year will be published in the summer. Measures introduced to address the issues raised by the National Audit Office were set out in a Written Ministerial Statement (29th January 2015) available at: <a href="http://www.parliament.uk/documents/commons-vote-office/January%202015/29%20January/1.BIS-Higher-Ed.pdf" target="_blank">http://www.parliament.uk/documents/commons-vote-office/January%202015/29%20January/1.BIS-Higher-Ed.pdf</a>. The measures that are listed as ‘subject to consultation’ have now been implemented in full. Further measures were introduced for the 2015/16 academic year. Student number controls can now be used to limit recruitment at providers with unsatisfactory student completion rates or those deemed to be providing a poorer service than expected. Providers are required to give government better information about their provision to students, for example performance information including their drop-out and success rates. All providers are required to submit data on their students’ background and achievements to the Higher Education Statistics Agency. The Government has also formalised the right to access alternative providers’ premises and records. The Student Loans Company has introduced further checks requiring proof of residence to check student eligibility for support. The Department for Business, Innovation and Skills also validates different information sources against each other to check coverage, for unusual results and to monitor any discrepancies between reporting bodies.
