The Indicators:

Recruitment, selection and admission policies are informed by our strategic priorities. We promote a shared understanding of our approach among all those involved in recruitment, selection and admission.
2Recruitment, selection and admission processes are conducted in a professional manner by our authorised and competent representatives.

We have procedures for handling appeals and complaints about recruitment, selection and admission that are fair and accessible. Appeals and complaints procedures are conducted expeditiously and in accordance with a published timescale.

We monitor, review and update our recruitment, selection and admission policies and procedures, in order to enhance them and to ensure that they continue to support our mission and strategic objectives. We determine the frequency with which monitoring and review are undertaken.

Selection processes for entry into higher education are underpinned by transparent entry requirements, both academic and non-academic, and present no unnecessary barriers to prospective students.
