This is a really good read and we recommend you have a look at it!<\/p>\n Using co-design has helped ASQA to progressively refine the key features guiding a self-assurance process. This includes being flexible enough, so the self-assurance model is \u201cappropriate for all providers regardless of size, type, operating context and self-assurance maturity.\u201d Another key principle is that the model needs to focus on \u201ccontinuous improvement rather than merely compliance\u201d and also be a valuable process for providers to undertake because it will \u201creduce regulatory burden.\u201d It should encourage and support providers to fully integrate self-assurance into their business and operational approaches and be simple and easy for providers to understand. These principles, incidentally, very much support the view of quality delivery that Guthrie and Waters proposed in a recent NCVER report<\/a>.<\/p>\n The final self-assurance principles are that any approaches need to be aligned with RTO standards and support other requirements, including those required by State\/Territory agencies (where possible) and \u201creinforced and validated by other regulatory activities including ASQA\u2019s performance assessments and risk analysis.\u201d All this needs to be \u201cbacked by effective support, guidance and education by ASQA.\u201d<\/p>\n The model is trying to avoid \u201cbeing overly prescriptive\u201d or \u201cencouraging providers to just \u2018tick the box\u2019 [in order to] achieve the minimum requirements.\u201d The last thing anybody wants is for \u201cself-assurance to become an additional business process for providers\u201d that duplicates existing requirements or leads to rorting.<\/p>\n The model has four major elements focused around continuous improvement. It aims to promote high quality student engagement and support as well as strong and ongoing engagement by RTOs with industry and their communities. This requires effective governance of each RTO and high-quality leadership. Importantly, it also requires highly capable staff that have access to ongoing professional development.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n In the next phase of the project ASQA will be developing and refining the detail for the model and its individual elements. ASQA will also \u201cexplore guidance and information requirements by model element \/ sub-element\u201d and \u201cidentify providers\u2019 expectations about and capacity to provide evidence of self-assurance by model element.\u201d It will also seek to \u201cidentify additional tools or resources required.\u201d Readers can still contribute in a number of ways; through a feedback mechanism on the ASQA website which will be active till June 8th or by emailing the project team at StrategicReviews@asqa.gov.au<\/a>.<\/p>\n Details of ASQA\u2019s draft self-assurance model released<\/a> | VDC<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" ASQA has developed and released details of its \u201cdraft model for self-assurance\u201d using a co-design process with the sector and other stakeholders.
