question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government (1) how many higher education providers have offered validation services, and (2) how many institutions have been validated, in each of the last five years.
tabling member printed	Lord Johnson of Marylebone
uin	HL6670
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/03/2022 answer text <p>The Office for Students (OfS) holds data on validation arrangements although this is dependent on the reliability of data submitted to the Higher Education Statistics Agency and Individual Learner Record to remain data collections. Previous inaccuracies in the data and other changes in the sector such as mergers between providers and providers leaving the higher education sector means that it is not possible to provide meaningful information over a 5- year period.</p><p>In 2020/21 the OfS reports that:</p><ul><li>92 OfS-registered providers have been identified as the awarding body for other providers’ students, i.e. appeared to be offering validation services in 2020/21.</li><li>310 OfS-registered providers identify another entity as the awarding body for some or all of their students i.e. appear to be utilising validation services in 2020/21.</li></ul><p> </p><p>It should be noted that providers may start and exit validation arrangements as they see fit and are free to negotiate these contracts between themselves. As a result, the OfS cannot accurately determine precisely how many higher education providers have offered validation services, only how many have current validation arrangements in 2020/21.</p> answering member printed Baroness Barran question first answered 21/03/2022 17:15:39 answering member 4703 label Biography information for Baroness Barran

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/04/2017 answer text <p>Ministers in the Department for Exiting the European Union are fully engaged on issues related to Northern Ireland.

The Joint Ministerial Committee is also meeting more frequently in plenary format: the Prime Minister has chaired two meetings since the referendum. Representatives from the DUP and Sinn Fein both attended JMC(P) on Monday 30th January and have attended every JMC(EN). The Secretary of State for Northern Ireland continues to undertake discussions with all of the main political parties and independents in Northern Ireland.</p><p>The Secretary of State for Northern Ireland and the Prime Minister are fully committed to ensuring that the unique interests of Northern Ireland are protected and advanced.</p><p>Regarding engagement with Parliament, we will keep the House informed throughout the entire process of the UK's exit from the European Union; and we have committed to keeping the UK Parliament at least as well informed as the European Parliament as negotiations progress.</p><p><strong><p><p></strong></p> answering member printed Lord Bridges of Headley grouped question UIN HL6671 question first answered 24/04/2017 11:47:22 answering member 4535 label Biography information for Lord Bridges of Headley
