Current status
QAA informs each AVA of a risk rating based on our assessment of compliance with the Licensing Agreement and Licensing Criteria. We have decided to remove the risk ratings from our website while we review our licensing arrangements throughout 2024. We do not wish to mislead our stakeholders or the public regarding the meaning of the risk ratings and consider that these could be misinterpreted without understanding each AVA's context.
If you have a query about the regulatory compliance of any AVA, please contact ahe@qaa.ac.uk. If you have an issue or concern about an AVA you would like to raise with us, please view our Concerns Scheme.
