Unlocking the Future of Fair Access: a policy-practice dialogue event

Keynote speaker

John Blake, Director for Fair Access and Participation, Office for Students.

 

Are you interested in how the effective use of student voices in evaluating higher education access and participation activities could lead to better student outcomes?

You are invited to a policy-practice dialogue in Oxford (and online) on Wednesday 23 October 2024.

Who should attend?

This public event is open to policy advisers, policy makers, professionals, academics, and students in the higher education sector who want to join the discussion of how student voices can provide valuable evidence for the development and implementation of Access and Participation Plans.

What will the event do?

This innovative event will:

  1. provide a platform for meaningful discussion among practitioners, academics, and students on incorporating student voices in higher education policy and practice in a changing policy landscape
  2. examine how student voices can add valuable evidence of policy development and implementation in Access and Participation Plans
  3. bring together key stakeholders to strengthen existing networks and forge new connections within the HE sector
  4. contribute to shaping the future of access and participation policies by identifying key areas for further development and inspiring actionable strategies
  5. present key insights and best practices from Oxford's What Matters to Students Public Policy Challenge Project.

The programme includes guest presentations and audience Q&A, lightning talks, and a policy stakeholder panel discussion. We have also asked each of our speakers to give you an opportunity to have your say using rapid online polls throughout the day.
