Policy consultations
The Policy and Procedure team within (TLD)'s Taught Programme Enhancement (TPE) team oversees the development, approval, and implementation of Teaching and Learning policies and procedures, including coordinating the consultation process. We also act as first liaison point with all stakeholders for policy and regulatory queries, offering advice and support for consistent implementation across the University, working with staff and students to identify policy areas for development.
Staff and students wishing to comment on policies and procedures can do so using our policy comments form. If there is an open consultation for the policy or procedure, your comments will feed directly into the consultation process. If your comment relates to a policy or procedure that is not currently open for consultation, we will retain your comments on file for the next available consultation.
Details of which policies are open for consultation, and when, can be found below.
